One of my favourites too, although even on the latest processors it still 
struggles to achieve 60 (or even 30 sometimes) FPS at high resolutions (read 
1920x1200).  I wonder if they could rewrite it using the graphics card, the 
routines used look like they would lend themselves very well to being 
written on the graphics card.
