It is very fast and playable on an Indy/R4000SC, can't say anything about
the PrimCache-Only machines. Even with the -2 or -3 option, the frame rate
is quite smooth, but with -4 it gets rather sluggish.
You can't get sound under IRIX 5.1.x, because a maths library is missing.
Just move sndserver to a directory which is not included in $PATH - all
will be fine except you won't get any sound. I think, even under IRIX 5.2,
you will only get the sound effects. Playing the music is impossible, you
need a PCM chip (synthetic sound) for this, and such a chip is (of course)
not included in the SGI-sound system.
