That's a speed issue - reduce resolution and or depth (e.g. xrandr - just to 
try out) and test if this improves your situation. Also the window size 
matters.
The key problem here is that the data is passed through the cpu (e.g. 
different from quartz eXtreme where most of the action is shifted into the 
vram) - what is (i think, correct me anyone) an xaa desiogn problem
