Yep, the difference in speed is marginally...

You can't kill it. In the final game, the chicken talks to you and
tells you the different attack modes, but this isn't in the demo. To
finish the tutorial, just fire you flying-fist spell on the buttons
over the door, then watch the beautiful Teleporter effect, and step
through :)

If you start via the Run_HereticII script, it should do so
automatically...

Also, make sure to

setenv "HereticII-Demo/dbuf" 1

or you won't get double buffering in the software renderer.
