No.  The problem seems to be with the 3-D savers :
Gkrellm shows heavy use of  1  CPU (out of  8  ) at a time when they run.

I can't find an executable or pkg called 'glxgears',
but the saver called 'gears' small preview runs at  60 fps ,
but the big preview runs at  14 fps ;
previously, the latter also did  60 fps .
