It is _incredibly_ slower than Doom.  Far more than can even be
measured in percentages.  I expect it to be slower, but the speed was
so crippling it took a lot of enjoyment out of it on my DX2-66, even
though it isn't highly action-oriented.

The look of the textures does relate to the engine- their coarse look
was likely due to not make the speed even worse than it was.  Hey,
