It's software 3D (extremely slow), NOT accelerated 3D... for that you have to 
use the nvidia driver, NOT the nv driver.

come back to us with your glxgears frame rate under that software 3D... and 
we'll have a laugh... :)

ps. to get the glxgears frame rate use the following command:
glxgears -printfps

this is what I get with the nvidia driver:
|paulc at broken-drum:~$ glxgears -printfps
|13586 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2717.025 FPS
windowed 
|1125 frames in 5.0 seconds = 224.866 FPS
full screen 1280x1024
