Why are you installing Mesa? Who ever told you to do that? DRI CVS includes
everything you need.

Does changing window size change performance?
If it gets faster with smaller windows then you are probably getting software
rendering. Try 'gears -info'.
If it stays the same with smaller windows, then you are locked to vsync. You
haven't set the environment variable correctly.

You should be using DRI trunk, and *NOT* Mesa anything. DRI CVS includes
everything from Mesa that it needs already.
