Limux Client Still Performs Poorly After 1.08

[Znurre]

I am using KDE 4.3 and I haven't got these problems.

Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, 3MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB
4GB DDR2 RAM 800MHz
250GB HDD 7200RPM
NVidia GeForce 9650GT

Then how come I can get 50-60 fps on windows and be stuck with 12-20 on linux?

I don't know, maybe you need to change some config or update some packages. Previously i had a ATI graphic card with very bad perf under linux.
I don't know you hardware/software so i can't say now.

In fact, I've had the opposite. With a C2D @ 1.8GHz and a GeForce 8600M GT card I had worse performance than on a computer with a P4 and a 6600 GT.

Why is this? This old engine is, as far as I've understood, very CPU-heavy and doesn't really make good use of the GPU. Also, it doesn't make good use of multiple cores.
