NVidia's driver could really need heuristics to deal with fallbacks in a more sane way. As it stands, if everything in the pipe can be accelerated it's REALLY fast, but if a fallback has to be used, it's REALLY slow, too slow. Other drivers seem to be able to decide better what should be done in certain fallback cases.
