Summary: GLX version is sloooow..

Initial Comment:
I tried to compare Darkplaces GLX version and
quakeforge GLX, using XFree86 4.0.3 and NVIDIA-1251
drivers for my TNT2 M64, fullscreen@640x480, show_fps 1.
Here are results, map start:
             Darkplaces   QF 0.3.0
spawn point    51         48
near mirror

spawn point    60         33
near 2barreled
shotgun

spawn point    50         36
near water
pool

Pulled CVS version, recompiled - got about 1-2fps
increase (good work, anyway!).
Checking/unchecking various gl_ and r_ cvars gives very
small difference (+1fps mostly), except GL_SKY_CLIP,
which gives maximum +4fps at the spot near water, but
whole image becomes covered with small white dots -
very ugly.
Loading skybox gave small increase even in areas
without visible sky - about 1 fps, too.

At the current level of perfomance, QF is quite
unplayable on my system (PII-400) :(  I could only
dream of Darkplaces' perfomance (if it only had QW
version...)
