it's not likely, but it IS possible they did no G3/G4 optimiztions to the
code, and wrote it for the standard PPC RISC set. That would explain why it
runs better on non Gx computers. G3/G4 chips emulate a 600 series chip.
Another possibility is that the graphics animation code is written (most
likely for the ATI graphics) in a way that the more advanced ATI cards, like
the Rage cards in G3/G4 or the Radeon card (G4 built-to-order), cannot
optimize 2D acceleration.
HEY PROPELLERHEADS! HOW ABOUT MAKING AN OPENGL VERSION!
