anything below 20 fps will cause noticible screen jumps. The human eye
watches a movie at 30-60fps. If your a quake player....and you drop below
20....you NOTICE. Especially if you have a rate of comparision...aka- you
see the different in speed.

And yet, oddly enough, my PII-350 with a voodoo 3 handles 45 people
plus corpses in BB no problem.

I've yet to be convinced corpses add any noticeable lag.

How do you gauge FPS in the teens, buy the way; do you have some way
of actually measuring this?
