I just tested it and it does seem extreme: 175 -> 144 fps.  I do 
remember that back when I was playing on Windows dynamic lighting only 
caused a 1-2 fps hit on a Voodoo 2 system, so this is probably a new 
issue.  Try one of the older releases and see if this was caused by a 
patch, that would probably be easier to track down.
