It runs at full speed in almost every situation at 200mhz, except on planets with ridiculous tectonic or weather activity, but even then it is near full-speed.

Here are the release notes: I don't really have any applications to test this with right now, but over the last few days I've totally rewritten the scripts that compile the Open2x libraries which resolves a few long standing problems (not the MOD with SDL_mixer problem nickspoon but I am looking into that - I have confirmed it is true ;) ), updated most of the libraries to their latest versions and have added a few new ones. Anything included will most likely be included in the Open2x firmware for dynamic linking (to give an idea of how much we're trying to cram in there).
