Don't tell me to install Linux. I know that. It's currently not an
option.

I downloaded and installed FG on a fairly capable XP system (1.6ghz AMD
256 RAM and a good video card) and was blown away by the frame rate.
Like
one second per frame even in the lower resolution modes?

I shut down all the background tasks I can, task manager shows 99% free
resources, but hey... this is windows.

I've got to be doing something wrong (besides using XP). What is it?
It's
got to work better than this. How do you get it to run so that it's not
just a big joke?
