First of all, thank you for the fast fixed new package and the
explanations to recent OA in Debian/unstable.

OK, I have here no "apple(')s (hardware)", but I see what you mean by
"snapshot":

$ grep -i ioq /tmp/openarena_anholt.log
ioq3 1.36+svn1858-1/Debian linux-i386 Feb  6 2011

In general, the 1024x768 resolution (my default) did not made much
improvements (currently: 14fps, I had seen max. 18fps), but 800x600 @
26/27fps is quite fast on radeon RV250 with KMS, classic-mesa and
linux-next (next-20110210) kernel.

So, I will have a closer look on openarena version when doing benchmark tests.
