I think the MMX code is limited to the sound effects. i.e. the reason you
might get a couple extra fps is that MMX is helping the advanced sound
processing (reverb etc). I have a MMX chip, and get more fps if I turn off
the fancy sound effects, but I don't think it is worth it. I like how your
shots and sounds sound different depending where you are.

Just my opinion,
