The DRI mailing list is better suited to that question.
There are most likely people here who could also answer your question, 
but then only if you provide some more details. "It's slow" isn't 
enough. Config files? Logs? What *does* glxinfo return? Something is 
definitely wrong though - you should be able to play all the games you 
listed.
