[Bug-gnubg] Test Performance question

[Rich Heimlich]

I have recently found gnubg and enjoy it. Thank you very much for 
creating it. I own what would generally be considered to be a pretty 
decent higher-end computer. The current video card is an ATI Radeon 
X800-XL 256mb.

I have gotten several friends to try out the program and when I test 
performance on most of their systems via the Test Performance feature, I 
generally see 200fps as the result. In each case these users have had 
systems that were substantially slower than my system. I then tested the 
performance on my system and I'm getting, at best 100fps and generally 
get around 90fps.

Running something like 3DMark benchmarking software on my system clearly 
shows it well ahead of these other systems. I'm trying to figure out 
what is holding back my performance with gnubg. With no understanding of 
the feature, I have no idea what the problem might be.

Can anyone shed any light on this odd situation?
