[Survey] OpenGL glxgears - Mine is 54 fps

I am interested in learning what typical OpenGL frame rates are in a Linux VM.

Under CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 5.3 I get about 54 fps with Parallels Tools installed on a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz OS X 10.6.2 running Parallels 5.0.9310. ( I get about 1400 fps running glxgears on the host ).

I understand that most Linux distros include the glxgears application that writes frame rate to the terminal while simultaneously rotating some gears in an OpenGL display. Please share you results.

Thanks in advance,

GLXGEARS Performance:

With GNOME Visual Effects set to "Extra": ~210 fps
With GNOME Visual Effects set to "None": ~57 fps

Something to note though is that not all OpenGL apps run for me. In fact, beyond glxgears I can't get much to work properly. There is something wrong with the lib GLU shipped with Ubuntu (which I highly doubt) or Parallels just does not handle OpenGL to spec.

Also, can you believe I get better frames with compiz enabled? Like seriously is that not a set of inverted results expectations or what!
 
Wow, that's substantially better fps than I get on CentOS 5.3 at about 50 fps. Thanks for giving me an idea on what performance is possible.
