What exactly are you running in Eclipse? One of the JOGL unit tests? It's strange that would be worse than a webstart demo, since it's going through the same drivers either way.

However, I have heard that there are problems with Sandy Bridge graphics under Linux (see http://semiaccurate.com/2011/01/02/sandy-bridge-biggest-disapointment-year/). This could be a manifestation of that.
