I just found that the new memory allocation code forces either all buffers to
be tiled or none buffer is tiled. The previous version tiled at least back and
depth buffers. 

Now, if I use tiling, I got glxgears at 990FPS and ppracer at 33FPS. If none
buffer is tiled then I got glxgears at 200FPS and ppracer at 3.6FPS. 

So, I guess this is the issue with slow down.
