New drivers don't always mean better performance. This is especially true if the updates to the driver are mainly bug fixes. Both ATI and nVidia are notorious for releasing updates that give nice performance boosts, only to negate those gains when they fix all of the problems that were introduced as a result.
Also, most of their driver optimizations are targeted at commercial games that sport heavy 3d graphics.
