  23. "Prince of Persia" runs quicker on my Linux machine (DX4-100, S3 864) than on
  24. a Mac LC III ... I guess your Pentium "reference" machine lags a bit behind
  25. current technology :-)

  27. Graphics performance of executor depends largely on how the Mac program uses
  28. and updates video memory and on your X-servers capabilities. In my tests
  29. (Linux Journal #19) graphics performance was not too bad if one uses the
  30. -privatecmap command line option.
