I tried Geom Test on Windows.  With the default subdivision style, 
you're right, the speed is about the same on the Quesa logo.  But with 
constant (50, 50) subdivision, I see a jump from 43 FPS to 83 FPS.

There seems to be a limit on the frame rate you can see in Geom Test on 
Windows.  The SetTimer call asks for a timer message every 2 
milliseconds, giving a theoretical maximum of 500 FPS, but I never seem 
to see more than 100 FPS.  The SetTimer docs say that on Windows 2000, 
the timer interval cannot be less than USER_TIMER_MINIMUM, but I can't 
find where USER_TIMER_MINIMUM is defined.
