because it has a kernel component, and some things in the kernel got
slower due to a few debug option... especially for places that do "dumb"
things (see davej's blog for a few such places in the kernel source ;)
The nv driver has no kernel portion, so wouldn't suffer from the same
debugging..
Can you clarify which kernel version enabled the debug option?
