really cool

Eh, if hammerfight is an example, it's still got a long way to go.
Hammerfight is impossible to play on my 2.1 GHZ dual core AMD w/ 4gigs of ram and an nvidia 8600gt... Ticks along at like 4 - 14 FPS.
Seriously unplayable. And it's just a 2-D game.

That's too much sarcasm for a nerdy place like here... :P

Really... What's wrong with today's software? It eats hardware resources like crazy...

Your system exceeds the minimum system requirements. So you don't need a new PC:

System requirements:
CPU: 2.0 GHz (x86 compatible)
RAM: 256 MB
GPU: OpenGL-compatible with 64 MB VRAM

Maybe you're using an open source driver (they're very slow). That would be the most probable cause for the performance issues.

LOL but be sure nothing is wrong with software Computers just to slow ALL the TIME!

Take a look here:

Maybe opening
~/.local/share/Hammerfight/Config.ini and changing the line:
CORE_USE_SLEEP=true
to
CORE_USE_SLEEP=false
will help you.
