OpenGL performance is not very good because

a) Geode LX has no hardware GL support _at all_
b) software OpenGL via mesa software driver is slow because it currently
uses double precision floating point instructions extensively, for which
GeodeLX needs to do multiple passes through the pipeline with CPU
microcode, as it can do directly only single precision floating point
instructions in one pipeline cycle.
