I completely disagree. It sounds like software (indirect) rendering is
being used, as I get well over 800 frames a second with a V3 and over
1600 fps with a V5 (single chip only) on my 1GHz Athlon. Frankly,
there's stuff in Glide that beats the pants off anything else we do, so
saying "Glide 3 is not exactly fast in Linux" is just plain incorrect.

I was getting ~1400 fps with my Radeon on a 600MHz Duron (ASUS A7V,
KT133 chipset), even with AGP 1x. Something's going horribly wrong with
your system...
