GLSL Problem - Please Helpi

Hello,
I am using Blender 2.55 and when I load the bathroom demo scene my GLSL runs at 60fps but when I load a new scene and add a simple plane and texture my GLSL runs at only 1 or 2 fps.

Is there a setting I am missing that the bathroom demo loads that is not loading when the default scene loads?

Thank you,
Scott
