No. Too much work compared to benefits when there exist nearly working
solution.

If you cannot use xrandr modelines you should report the bug
bugs.freedesktop.org so it gets fixed before lucid.

http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 for good xrandr
configuration help.

The performance problem you point is mostly caused very expensive
gnome theme that Ubuntu is using. (A lot of calls exaTrapezoids which
is not accelerated by free drivers yet) Problematic code path were
specially bad with xserver 1.6 and KMS while 1.7 provides some
improved performance for Ubuntu theme.
