Might be worth a try, thanks for the hint!

Yep, it spawns a thread for each core.

I thought Breach was one of the more complex maps, hmm. Suggestions?

I think we should investigate using the Tiny C Compiler (
http://www.landley.net/code/tinycc/) for this. It can be compiled as a
library and embedded into the ioquake 3 engine. Rewriting the shader
transcoder to emit C code instead of C++ should be too hard.
