Random thoughts - could try running it in different ways to see what
triggers the slowdown:
- with the software legacy renderer vs the opengl one
- with/without sound disabled (if possible)
- with a standard doom wad vs neodoom
- with a VESA Xorg config vs nouveau (will be slow anyway, and may be
hard to tell if it gets slower)
