On the other hand, did you notice that Direct3D handles transparency
(railings at Nurburgring, for exampl) pretty awkwardly? The transparency
is either on or off, there are no intermediate values (alpha is either
full or zero).

Funny. On my P-II-300, V3-3000 system I lost 5-10 fps nearly
everywhere using D3D, not just when the graphics were loaded up. In
Glide I get an almost constant 36 fps running at that funny 9??x7??
resolution between 800x600 and 1024x768. D3D must be quite a bit more
processor intensive.
