Ok, I thought you got 90-100 fps with the default settings in 320x240.

I don�t really know about this but I think I have them right:

DEBUG=0
EARLYTERM=0
FORCE=1
GFXADDR=$e0000000
HIDEWARNING=0
MEMPROT=0
NOPATCH=0
NOPPC=0
SEGINFO=100
TERMINATOR=2

It got faster with other screenmode etc, but I can�t get over 85 fps no
matter how hard I try.

Can you remember if you had this speed before you sent your card to P5 for a
"refix"?

Haha, it�s not really that fun then :)

But I don�t think it�s context switches �cos it�s the same in the enforce
demo and that is not using PPC IIRC. And I don�t think the context switches
for reading mouse/keyboard would slow down 8-10 fps. Does this happen for
anyone else?

Btw, sorry for the a bit of topic discussion :)
