Yes - sorry.

TuxAQFH was written in the age of Voodoo-1 cards and 266MHz CPU's.

Since it was my first 3D computer game, I didn't take the time to
consider the future.  I was so happy to see Tux running at 15Hz that I
didn't consider the possibility that he might one day be running on 1GHz
CPU's with GeForce cards.

Anyway, until I get the chance to go back and "do it right" - your
fix is a good one.

To get the right timings though, I recommend usleep(16000) - which will
bring the frame rate back into the 30 -> 60Hz range.

We have a new version of PLIB coming out soon (June 22nd) and all my
games will be revamped to match that release.  I'll put a better fix
for this problem in when I do that.
