[quake2] Performance issue fixed, problem found

[Vincent Cojot]

Hi Brendan,

	OK, I get the idea and it wasn't what I initially thought..
Thanks a lot for the info.. I have Solaris patches coming soon.. I'll be
testing them over the week-end.. That's fixes for key repeat for X11, soon
XIL.. new sound code for the "quake2" binary (borrowed from Utah-GLX
quake2-glx Solaris port).. Some other stuff.. I don't know for you but the
more I read q2 source, the less I understand what's going on.. I guess I
need a vacation.. :)
