Also 2.6 note for gamers.
Low latency will not help for multiple game instances.
Normal 2.6 tack scheduler will give very long timeslices for each
process, aprox 200ms. As result if You start two copies of games,
then both games became unplayable choppy, tuxracer included.

Solution is
nice +19 game-bin
This commandline guaranted 10ms rescheduling for game-bin,
so in my end 3 simultaneous games run smooth.
2.6 task scheduler is customized for desktop apps, which is bad
for simultaneous 100% CPU tasks. According code author Con
Kolivas it must be so and cannot be changeable.
