Gosh, you're right, I remember reading that last night over at
UpsetChaps.  So I shouldn't be concerned much having got a rock steady 5
times in a row 57.2 fps in the timedemo.  :)

Um, I'm sure I made the odd change or two in DoomConfig.cfg that I
didn't copy over into my autoexec.cfg, would you want to see that stuff
too?
