Ubuntu Heyron: i810 beats intel driver ?

I'm not sure why, but ever since I upgraded my x86-64 installation to Ubuntu 8.04, all applications (but especially Firefox in particular) would spot a dramatical display slowdown, although CPU was not loaded.

Well, ever since switching from the default "intel" video driver to the "i810" driver, things have gone back to normal. This makes me think that the new/official "intel" driver is yet to become
what the old i810 one has still to offer...
