It is actually faster.

The speedups are for programms that use them. The videos do not use Warp3D at all.
I haven't tried WipEouT yet. My testing experience show that some progs are a bit faster
and others a bit slower. Just wait for a Heretic 2 update that uses the vertex arrays. It will
be CERTAINLY faster.

It is pretty fast on my machine. I get ~10fps. The lowest drop I even had was 6fps. It's
fast enough to be playable. I have a 240MHz 603p. Also the level in the demo is a pretty
demanding one. There are levels that are MUCH faster.

If you want speed use 5.0. 5.1 is noticably slower.
