That's *really* slow. What video card/driver/distribution do you use?
I think something is wrong with your X setup.
You should be able to do much more than that.
On my really old P3 1 ghz laptop I get 112fps at 800x600 in a window.
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
going = True
while going:
events = pygame.event.get()
for e in events:
if e.type in [KEYDOWN, QUIT, MOUSEBUTTONDOWN]:
going = False
clock.tick()
pygame.display.flip()
print clock.get_fps()
