The speed issue is one I've kept up on, but performance?

On a system with even a vaguely reasonable graphics card, an under-spec processor, and 256Mb of RAM the demo has run very well for me. On the other hand, on a 2.6Mhz processor, with a 9800 pro and 1Gig of RAM it's really quite amazing to watch.

The only problem I've noticed with performance is that, when the Numidian Cavalry form a Cantabrian Circle around the elephants, the elephants don't get up on their hind legs and dance.

jk. I am curious about performance problems -- I assume there are threads around here or elsewhere to look at?
