I need to put it on that laptop too, thanks for the reminder.
But for comparison, on my T42p (1600x1200 LCD ati chipset), I'm getting
4h20, which is more than windows on the same machine.
This is why I noticed that the hw upgrade caused a sheer drop in performance 
on this laptop.

Yeah, I have those on the old machine, and need to make sure they work as
expected on the new one.
I'll report back, but for now, it's not looking too good.
