I am tempted to blame the driver for this. 1500 3Dmarks loss is a very massive
loss, I don't think plainly enabling the stencil test can cause this. It may
force the driver to fall back to software rendering for some reason. The
Geforce 8 drivers are known to have big performance issues on Linux. Do you
have a geforce 7 or geforce 6 to test with?

What is interesting too however, is that the stencil test was incorrectly
disabled before, and the app still worked. This may be an attacking point for a
workaround of the driver bug(if it is one).
