FPS in "gears" from Mesa demos
(Yes, I know I should record software versions and hardware details)

To test: execute "gears" at default resolution. After getting some fps
data, maximize to 1280x1024.


BOX: internal reference, ignore.
SO:
	win -> Windows 2000
	lnx -> Linux (several distributions)
	irx -> IRIX 6.5
	mac -> MacOS 10.2
[0-9]*x[0-9]*: resolution

Note: Max Impact/TRAM is about ten years old
Note: NVidia drivers seem a lot better for Linux than for Windows.
Note: rain resolution is in fact 1280x806 in a PB 15.2"

Disclaimer: "gears" doesn't use lot of advanced features of graphical
hardware, so is not really a good test; but it gives some hints...
