This is the problem with smoothness- it's all subjective.

Although NFS is "smooth" in comparison to other SVGA games, I also
have a DX2-66 with Cirrus Logic VLB, same system as yours.  I
certainly don't call SVGA "smooth" on my machine, and didn't expect it
to.  Smooth to me is over 20fps, SVGA _is_ choppy on a DX2/66 for
sure.
