Why fastDOOM Is Fast
"During the winter of 2024, I restored an IBM PS/1 486-DX2 66Mhz, "Mini-Tower", model 2168. It was the computer I always wanted as a teenager but could never afford. Words cannot do justice to the joy I felt while working on this machine.
As soon as I got something able to boot, I benchmarked the one software I wanted to run."
