ok.. i get about ~110fps with software rendering, Mesa-3.4-4 and an
AMD K7 at 600MHz. And ~390fps on the same machine with hardware GL on a
Matrox G200-SDA.

very handy command is the "glinfo" command. this is software
rendering:

Also, you seem to be using some kind of fscked up Mandrake Mesa RPMs
cause the version of gears on your site is linked to
'libGLcore.so.1'. argg.. get the Rawhide Mesa-3.4 stuff instead.
