I just tried this one with the Quadro FX 770M (the Quadro FX 1800 seems to 
be doing ok these days). Before upgrading, I had the issues (only 7000 in 
glxgears, tuxracer choppy even at the lowest resolutions). I upgraded, and 
everything was back to working fine, except that I got a warning every 
time I started an opengl application that there was a version mismatch. 
Then I rebooted, and the problems were back. And I seem to remember the 
same thing happening at the last upgrade, except that I assumed it was an 
hallucination. And downgrading has the same effect. So basically it seems 
to only work well when there is a version mismatch :-/
At least that's an easy way to check if Stéphane Glondu and I have the 
same issue or a different one...

(the latest legacy package also has good performance, but there are other 
issues with it)

I may try it later.
