ProSavage DDR-K: poor performance with Xorg 7.4

Hello.
I recently switched from OpenSuse 10.3 (Xorg 7.2.0) to OpenSuse 11.1 (Xorg 7.4).
The new Xorg is a lot slower then the old one.
Then I tried Kubuntu 8.10, that runs Xorg 7.4 and gives me the same
poor performance of the Suse 11.1 one.
I'm running a Fujitsu Siemens C1020 laptop
the lspci output the my card is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
following is some x11perf comparison between Xorg 7.2 and 7.4 on the
same laptop:
----------------------------------------------------------
x1perf --copypixwin500
Xorg 7.2: 804.0/sec [disabling XAA acceleration I got more than 200]
Xorg 7.4: 122.0/sec
x11perf --putimagexy500
Xorg 7.2: 0.6/sec
Xorg 7.4: 0.2/sec [I got 0.6 disabling XAA acceleration!]
----------------------------------------------------------
The xorg.conf of both version are the ones generated by the Suse SaX tool.
The Device section of my xorg.conf is:
----------------------------------------------------------
Section "Device"
BoardName "ProSavage DDR-K"
Driver "savage"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Screen 0
VendorName "S3"
EndSection

----------------------------------------------------------
I did a lot of trials, like disable XAA, disable DRI, recompile savage
driver from source, but with no performance improvement.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!
