It will be default in the next version. To do that, open the application menu, choose "Map View" and change the projection in the top most input field. Also make sure to use the OpenStreetMap theme.

OpenGL support is planned for Marble 1.1 or 1.2, that's around April or end of 2011, respectively.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. the Mercator projection is a bit better but the scrolling is still weeery slow and laggy. I too get about 2 frames per second but isn't something between 15 and 25 a bit more regular fps for a program (I don't say you have to get something like that at least right away but something like 10 fps would be nice). Could you consider adding a full-screen option like I suggested before, it would probably considerably raise the performance. But other than performance this program really seems promising, keep up the good work!
