Hmm, I can't test the game on low-end machines currently. (AMD 2500+ ,
NVIDIA GF4200TI, 256DDR)
:(
The game is currently optimized to "produce" as many frames per second
as possible. (up to 100) In the old code 40 were the absolute maximum
and probably never reached.
I'll introduce an option (CLI and menu) to tune SuperTux for old
machines. Stay tuned. :)

this code had been in the "old" SuperTux, too.

I agree, but I don't want to announce a feature freze yet.

I couldn't test with ATI cards. :( Moreover the OpenGL mode IS
experimental! It's NOT our goal to get it stable and
working on every thinkable computer for 0.0.6.
SDL will be the default for 0.0.6.
