subject: Quake is sloppy!

I agree with all who believe that quake is a BIG dissapointment. From What I 
read it was supposed to play respectably on a 486dx2 66 (which is what I 
have) and support the new vesa 2.0 (wich duke 3d does) for ultra fast 
graphics. WRONG! It's graphics engine hogs the cpu big time and even with FPU 
support (math co) it fails to match the speed of Duke 3d! I can play duke3d 
in the second resolution setting on my 66mhz 8mb ram 1mb video at the speed 
of doom! But quake runs at a wimpy 3-4 frames per sec! I know poeple with 
33mhz 486s enjoying Duke 3d while even a 486 dx4 100 huffs and puffs to meet 
quakes stupidly huge graphics commands! And the graphics still aren't better 
than dukes! So for all those saying Quake rules! duke 3d is old news! I say 
BULL! Duke3d has the gold! And barnyard Nukem will make full use of duke 3d 
fast and efficient build engine! p.s. Will you quake people stop sending me 
mail! WE WILL NOT CHANGE THE PROJECT TO BARNYARD QUAKE!!!!!!!!
