I am pretty much sure it's just a matter of Blender finetuning here...  
Ghost really just uses plain X11 stuff, it hardly does anything with  
OpenGL, except assigning a 'context' to a window. Might well be not  
because of Ghost, but some other 'improvement'... ;-)

I also vaguely remember someone else reporting an annyong slowdown for  
some systems, especially in quick feedback of the Blender interface.
