Memory issue with recent fglrx drivers?

This is a strange one...

SL runs perfectly with version 8.28 of the fglrx drivers. Anything after that an I will get FPS dropping to 1-2fps after a few minutes and everything becomes unusable.

If I upgrade the driver to 8.35.5, then set the SL video memory option to 64Mb (I have an ATI X700 with 128Mb) that seems to cure it.

Any idea what's causing this?
