Seriously, this is massive overkill. My normal Linux desktops have
processes using perhaps 1-3% of the CPU during normal usage. I don't
run a special X config, I definitely don't run a special run level - I
never needed too. Also in this case, the performance is not CPU caused
most likely, but driver caused (mainly since with a less powerful
nvidia card, performance seems a lot better).

My box is an Athlon 1.2 GHz with a GeForce 2 Pro, to give you
perspective. It is a tad slow at times (especially large outdoor
levels with lots of people) but overall quite decent.
