No I didn't say it is slow. Generally it is hellish fast, but it is making slowdowns when I enter new sectors. But strange, it stops uploading data if I run thru the whole level, this must be a sign that it can handle the whole level data in memory. Probably 1.5 Atomic fixes that, I will try.
By the way, I tried playing with keyboard only, for a while. It's harder for sure. And I would be killed all the time not far from where I spawn in dukematch play

Yes win32 version (I play xDuke port, it is known being most close to the original) is fast enough, graphics is even faster, but the input is different (to the worse). Probably windows'es event system is somewhat that you can't get rid of when developing any application. About high resolution pack, I think I am on the opposite, I like original Duke much more, and changing resolution to more than 640x480 doesnt make any sense usualy, only slows things down. Yes, sprite monsters can confuse people, but I don' care.
