Latest driver? And I used to think that ATI's drivers had become
better. It looks like NVIDIA still has the upper hand under OpenGL.

This is normal. The accelerated 3D scene is actually shown in a
separate window. To create the illusion of being able to have other
Squeak stuff on top of the 3D window, all overlapping parts have to be
rendered into a texture and uploaded to the 3D engine. This takes some
time ;-)
