It's still stuttery, but it could be my 4G mem/the way the game loads.

If I run from clean most of the stutters/long start time correspond with
"vmstat 1" showing disk activity. It seems having 4 gig (swap is off to avoid
extra disk use) it seems I don't have enough ram to disk cache the whole demo.
If I stop it after a while I can get the first bit cached (ie. I can run it
without vmstat 1 showing anything), but it's still stuttery in the places where
it would be loading from disk were it first run.
