Well I figured out my problem and it was behind the keyboard.  Turns out 
I had added...

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=TRUE

..to my /etc/environment file somewhere along the line.  Adding that has 
the side effect of ALWAYS RENDERING EVERYTHING IN SOFTWARE.

(bangs head against the wall)

Whew.  I feel better now.  I'm also enjoying 2300+ fps with glxgears now 
which is at least 1000 more fps than I was getting (yes yes, glxgears is 
not a benchmark).

GoogleEarth is now working again too.
