I have a 386/40, and just got a math coprocessor.  I don't see any 
noticable speedup in Doom...what's wrong?  Isn't it built to use a 
coprocessor?  Or did they just use 486-specific code if a 486 is present 
(or something)?

I kind of expected to see it run nearly as smooth as a friend's slower 
486, due to raw speed.  Huh?
