On my 386dx/40 with 4M ram, speed is 'acceptible' when you use all the
commandline switches to disable unused drivers and the -lowmem switch;
also shrink the screen and knock out the midi music (play a heavy metal CD
instead).  Don't play it on a slower machine. 

This speed is acceptible for single player mode, but if you fight someone
on a Pentium, you will get rocked.  Frame rate is very important in
deathmatches.
