I almost find this incredible! Considering games like Doom ran on a few Mhz and
NO 3D acceleration, I expect them to run comfortably on modern 1 Ghz computers,
but in my experience Freedoom runs slow as a snail on an ARM board. Is there
some factor I'm missing? Perhaps the SDL abstraction layer gets in the way of
fast direct-architecture code?
I'm tempted to see about compiling that free Descent source and see what you
mean. I have the data files in my possession somewhere.
