S3 speed up utility is quite impressive. It dropped my processor
occupancy from 107% to 85% (just verified that at Monza pits). I've got
a P133 and a Stealth 1MB DRAM (S3 Trio64). I run GP2 in SVGA. If I
enable the "VGA mode 13" I get a huge improvement in the log file
(video speed) index, but no true frames/s. If I enable VESA mode, I get
no improvement in the log file index, but indeed I do get some very nice
extra fps.
