Using the link you posted I was able to get similar numbers on my card, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there where it talks about driconf, and set up your drirc file you should be able to apply these settings system wide. I am still have some issues with compiz-fusion running smoothly I currently dont have the cube working it lags very bad with that. I will do some more research into the kernel bug and see if upgrading and re-enabling tiling fixes this issue. Thanks for the link and pointing me in the right direction. AJ
