I have a 2.8G P4 with 1GB of ram and a Radeon 9600XT.

It is very jerky on startup, but even after that it stutters when too
many logos are moving around at once ( at least for me ). Perhaps it
is the high resolution I am using (1600x1200). I  know it's not 3d,
but in my experience 2d rendering had been improved a lot with the
proprietary drivers.

I know I can select a different one, but if the default one isn't able
to run smoothly on this kind of hardware maybe it shouldn't be the
default.
