Nope, not yet, but I'll look for it now :)

Get this, I can remember *finally* getting over 26 fps in 640x480-16 
bits and then rejoicing when I got a 'decent' 3D accelerator that let me 
play GLQuakeWorld and GLQuake in 800x600-32 bits at around 46 fps.
I just set it up in 1280x1024-32 bits, got to the start for New Game, 
dropped the console and did the TIMEREFRESH.  Screen went *WHIZ!* and 
showed me 668.062886 fps :)  I think that's playable :)  Oh the grief I 
used to go through to just play the game online.   Broadband is as big a 
help as a decent rig to play it on.
