I apologize but I can't put this post in the thread.
This should be a reply to the post from Jeremie Le Hen on Thu May 31

This option is not selected in my configuration but is is slow since
the upgrade to X.org 7.2 with firefox. I have alse rebuild firefox after
all was rebuild.  It is only with Firefox.

I have the following modules loaded.
    Load        "dbe"   # Double buffer extension
    Load        "extmod"
    Load        "glx"
The card is a Radeon 9250 AGP.
What can I try?
