You got it working fast enough to be playable online?

I'd been playing online for a few months in Windows, then decided to
give the Linux version a try, installed it, saw that it ran fine in
single player mode, got really excited and then joined an online game
just to find out that it was just a little bit too slow when things
get a little hot. :-(

Local lag in the critical moments can make the difference between
dying and winning. Too bad, could have saved me from a lot of dual
boots.

That was with Red Hat 7.1, 800 MHz Pentium III and a Geforce 256 DDR
graphics card. But not with Povray running in the background. :)
