I downloaded and tried naturesuxx on a Celeron 400 running under Win ME with
128 MB.  At 320*240 with all features enabled it didn't get over 10
frames/second, which I don't exactly consider "realtime".  Granted, the
graphics card is from a previous PC and with 2 MB of DRAM.  However, at
320*240 that shouldn't be a bandwidth bottleneck.  I will try it on a faster
system tomorrow...

Well, it is just an Easter egg coded in less than 250 lines total.  Anything
else would just bloat the code.  Of course it can be done much faster with
much more code and time...
