The Sun graphics cards are CAD cards. Nice polygon performance, no
texture support... so its done in software. Slow, even with VIS support.
There is an OEM'ed PC PCI card with texture support available, though.
However, I can't see how that would cause stuttering, other than
indirectly by loading the CPU, and thus downgrading the process priority...
try raising the priority of both the X-server and j3d program, see if it
helps.
