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&#39;m missing? Perhaps the SDL abstraction layer gets in the way of fast direct-architecture code?<br>

I&#39;m tempted to see about compiling that free Descent source and see what you mean. I have the data files in my possession somewhere. <br>
