I'm with you. It's playable on Linux, but the performance is definately 
better on Windows. The most plausible (to me anyway) explanaition I've 
heard is that directx is designed specifically for gaming, while opengl 
is geared more towards proffesional 3d applications.

Anyway, it would be nice if someone could give some performance tuning 
hints. And no, "works great for me" isn't really helpful.
