You need to enable EXA as acceleration type. And for that, you *need* an xorg.conf.
Section "Device" Driver "radeon" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" EndSectionI believe the default is "XAA" which is slow. Also, with that driver, it makes more sense to get the latest (~arch) along with ~arch DRI kernel modules. The "unstable" ones (according to portage) are actually way more stable and faster than the "stable" ones.
