  Time demo is like playing the game.  IF some 1 says they get 15 fps in time
demo 2, i laugh, then i cry for them, and then i say buy voodoo, or to throw away
their cyrix.  I can tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps.  And if voodoo 2
gets 40 fps in 800 600 in a time demo of quake 2, then i know its gonna play
fast.
