Sigh.. Lets try this again.

1. Development platform - PC with some flavor of Windows.
2. Destination platform - xBox, running a stripped down form of Windows.
3. Port platform - The same Windows used in #1.

So.. What the hell happens between 2 and 3, which makes it run like 
shit, and require 2 cores, more memory, etc.?

The issue has nothing to do with Linux, which is a whole different 
problem, mostly resulting from the fact that OpenGL tends to run 
"behind" DirectX, when it comes to some things, due to the way hardware 
developers do their job (or, more often are paid to not do so).
