Ville ran Scud much faster on what I assume would be much lower-spec hardware. His final DX9.0c version ran about 130 FPS on a Core Solo laptop (ie, not a Core 2, the one before that) with just barely DX9-compliant Nvidia graphics.
The secret of course was doing all the Model 3 T&L in shaders and underclocking the PowerPC to about 25 MHz ;-) (No DRC, this was a straight interpreter).
