Yes, XFree86 4.0 has definite benefits for Voodoo 3 owners---OpenGL in
a window is cool.  I went back to 3.3.6 (after using one of the 3.9
prereleases) just because the prerelease seemed a bit too unstable
(and I wasn't really using GLX).

For what it's worth, there's nothing surprising in my /proc/cpuinfo or
/proc/interrupts: there's no special interrupt, and I've only got a
single CPU.
