Comment 4 for bug 544496

I made a local branch in git off of the vline commit, reverted it in the branch, and merged master onto the branch. Performance is restored, plus everything seems a little bit faster than before! (Maybe Pauli's stuff causing that? Or maybe hallucinating....)

From what I understand about vline, it's something I want. Is the performance hit something that an app (like 'torcs') could find a workaround for, or is the hit unavoidable?

For now I will keep merging updates to my "no-vline" branch.
