Well, I've applied some tweaks that seem to help a bit.

How slow is it? If you start kgoldrunner from the command line, it writes one 
line each time one frame of the animation is drawn. How many frames does it 
draw?

Probably it is not a corner case. I have tried the game on my home desktop, 
which has a radeon 9250 video card, and it seems it's using software fallback 
for the render extension. It draws only a few frames when the window is 
maximized (maybe 6). If too many people find the animation too slow, it's 
probably better to disable it on slower machines...
