I fully agree.

Same hardware, and under Linux even better (newer) drivers. That's why
I'm amazed with the results. Actually NetBSD doesn't shine as "gaming
platform", and now such interesting thing...

No idea, hot to find it out. I believe, in both cases it's high, since
the movement is quite fluent.

Actually I wrote in my initial post already, that difference is kinda
dramatic in favor of NetBSD.

Can you tell me: why you all are so opposed to install this little
game - which isn't troublesome at all, be it Linux or NetBSD - and see
it all by yourself?

One more thing: I've examined FreeDroid game under both systems - and
I see similar (high) load in both system. The same result for quite
different game (of different author) is suggesting to me, that in case
of Lbreakout2 / LGeneral there _CAN_ be a real difference... and I'm
curious what makes this difference. Why under NetBSD the game is
"nicer" to CPU?
