Btw the punisher is an excellent game, first one I played from start to finish since a long time. My gaming rig relatively fast: AMD 4000+ 1024 Ram Videocard XFX 7800 GS 16 6 256-bit GDDR3/256MB 440MHz 1300MHz Sound Audigy 2 The thing is I notice it also in normal usage. Dragging a window around the screen sometime makes the system stutter. That when I noticed in the first place that things were wrong. I can perfectly live without games in FreeBSD but not with an X server that feels slow and is lagging :-( . For example if I draw circles with a window in Gentoo nothing happens but in FreeBSD my desktop freezes for a moment. * *
