Do you have an error like this in your xterm when you launch the program?
freeglut (/home/hteran/tmp/programs/pymol/pymol.exe): Unable to create
direct context rendering for window 'PyMOL Viewer'
This may hurt performance.
If this is the case (it was my case) the solution is obscure, but it
works for me to launch the program through a kmenu quicklaunch app
created for pymol (I use KDE). I am curious, are you running linux
x86_64 distro? If yes, the problem might be with the location of the
32-bit libraries (pymol is precompiled for 32 bit).

Dear people,
We have a rather (half a year) new (AMD64-3700, 2GB RAM, FX1400 running
Redhat/Gnome) PC and people complain that pymol on our four year old
office PCs (Pentium, on board graphic card, 256MB RAM) is faster in
displaying large protein structures (even at same resolution). How could
this happen? I used the precompiled linux binaries for pymol. Any
suggestions? (of course we have the Linux machine for 3D modeling with
3D glasses...which we cannot do on the standard PCs (with flatscreens)
but still...I'm kinda curious where this difference could come from).
Thanks in advance.
Best,
