I see I'm not the only one with this really bad performance. I thought it was 
my system which was buggy or somethings :S

My experience with an intel 945GM on linux has been *TERRIBLE*. I was even 
thinkig to switch back to Windows for some time (in fact, I even got to 
install Windows 7 although it didn't last long...).

However, I must thank the devs an intel because I feel they are headed in the 
right direction. Even though the performance is still terrible, I see that 
there are improvements with every driver release and kernel update.

I hope I'll get a really usable driver in short :)
