Well, it does say  "synchronised to the vertical refresh", so I'd expect 
60Hz or so.

My X60 does 2924 / 5s  but doesn't print that line about running 
synchronised to the vertical refresh.

I'd suggest installing the (free) game extremetuxracer, and see what you 
get from that. (I get 31 fps with the intel driver on X60). The other 
useful check is some of the rss-glx screensavers.

Best wishes,

Richard
