Based on my familiarity with graphics, hmmmm ... systems. At best comprable apps on an SGI NT box will run at 70 to 80% as fast as a comodity system with a number nine revolutions 4 with linux and AcceleratedX with openGL as required. At worst 30 to 50% as fast.

The XIG openGL driver for linux makes porting high end apps.(all written is C and C++) much less difficult.

me Very pessimistic.
