If the upcoming Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" pulls in version 6.14.4 of the open-source radeon driver, released on 28 March 2012 (or the just-released 6.14.5 version), you might get a small performance improvement on your old Radeon Mobility 7500 due to the implementation of KMS tiling. KMS tiling was already supported on newer Radeon hardware.
