OK, so now I have the Linux demo. Cool. Except I get unplayable performance (under 1fps at lowest quality setting, 800x600), whereas the Windows Version on the same machine runs very smoothly at the next-to-best quality setting.

I've got an Nvidia GeForce 4200 as a video card, and they normally do a good job of providing their drivers for Linux; so I'll install their latest drivers and just hope it makes a significant difference...

Edit: Yes, it does make a difference. The game plays about the same under both OSes, like it should.
