* ADDITIONAL INFORMATION *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reletive to the id maps, this map should run better than usual on your system.
If you are having slowdown, make sure you drop the curve detail down to low for
this map. I notice that you can't really even tell the difference between the
loss of detail because of the type of curves I used...
If you play Q3A w/ the texture detail all the way up, consider dropping it one
notch, it should help frame rates a lot without sacrificing much visual quality.
Also, the difference between 16 and 32 bit textures isn't even noticable you
should probabley turn that down to 16 bit. Full screen 32 bit rendering is
much better looking than 16 bit rendering, if you can handle that, then go for it.
