I can confirm that. Tuxracer consistently ran at 100 - 110fps, but
ppracer runs at 75 - 80fps on my computer. You're right, the difference
is noticeable, but not enough to be a problem. I had to turn on the fps
display to see how much of a difference it was.
My computer is a 1.8Ghz AMD Athlon with 1GB of ram and a Radeon 9200SE
video card.
Unfortunately this doesn't help your problem, but I can confirm you're
not the only one seeing it.
HTH,
Jacob
