Subject: Vesa 2.0 is slower than 1.2 on my video card !!!!!

My video card's (Cirrus Logic Cl-54M30) bios doesn't support vesa 2.0 
but vesa 1.2. I install the Display Doctor 5.3a into my computer so that 
my video card can support vesa 2.0. 

Then I ran the Allegro's Demo.exe. I choose vesa 2.0 linear frame 
buffer and 640x480 mode with double buffer. When the game starts, it 
reported the frame rate to be 16 fps. This is even slower than the vesa 1.2 
(which is about 24 fps with univbe and 22 without univbe). Can someone tell 
me why vesa 2.0 is slower in my video card when it suppose to be faster 
??? anyone ??
