But what's the point? We now have something which looks like
Wolfenstein, but it runs even slower on my P166 (tweaked+tuned) than
Wolfenstein did on my 286-20..

I don't mean to put people's good intentions down, but it is in no way
impressive. It only rotates around one degree, textures are small
(which favors cache efficiency), there is no shading (as far as I can
see) and it is terribly slow. If this 'new method' is any good, it
would run faster than this.

It's slow now and I don't think it'll be much faster later on.
Whatever the technique is, it's most probably not all that cool.
