It's Open GL to blame as it can't handle more then one display. If you use NVidia cards with their proprietary driver and thus have to use NVidia's twinview, you don't have that problem as twinview will present itself as one display with huge dimensions. But even my quadcore Intel box will kind of crawl when using an OpenGL app such as bzflag.
I'm not really concerned with games. I have only one app that uses 3D - Google Earth. If that runs smoothly (on one screen) I'd be happy. For some reason (it might be shortage of video mem, I'm not sure), it doesn't work if I maximise it on the second display. If I widen the window to extend accross both screens, it's fine until it reaches about half of the second screen, than the "earth window" goes black. What drives me more nuts are two applications that, when I maximise them, don't stay on one screen: VMware and MPlayer. Both enlarge to the size of one screen, but sit in the middle of the two. This is completely useless. I have fiddled endlessly with xorg settings and KDE's window manager settings, but all to no avail.
