Okay, the gayest thing just happened to me. I usually play in 800x600x32, and I decided to try the highest resolution that my system could handle, which is 1280x1024x32. Anyway, so I change the resolution, and I noticed a huge difference in frame rates. It was faster! I was thinking, WTF man, this isn't supposed to happen. Anyway, so I switched to 640x480 to see what happened, and still, 1280x1024 was faster. Weird huh? It's cool for me. Anyway, here are my system specs:

1.2 Gigahertz AMD Athlon Thunderbird
1024 MB PC-133 RAM
60 Gigabyte 7200RPM HD

suckers...
