Comment 42 for bug 81858

Just installed the latest ATI fglrx driver, direct rendering is on, all is well, but google spreadsheets still crawls compared to performance on Windows. It's not totally debilitating, but noticeable. On a side note, http://www.linuxactionshow.com/ suffers only a smidgen of lag.

While traversing a google spreadsheet:
