Your graphics cards are basically running in PCI mode. I don't know, however, what the performance impact is when AGP mode is turned off. But it was turned off because it made PowerPC systems unstable. It also seems that AGP mode poses an additional maintenance burden for the KMS/DRM maintainers of the kernel so I understand the reasoning behind such a change. I wonder though whether it would make sense to move the support for older GPUs in legacy drivers, similar to what nVidia does with their commercial drivers.
