Back later on this one, problably same as for UT (SW fallbacks?).

Yes, I have.

Yes, the same libGl.so.1.2 as for Q3A, see above, is used.

Yes, I'm using 16 bpp.
I don't beleive UT would be this slow. The driver seems to switch back
and forth between SW and HW mode?? The previous Glide+3.3.x solution on the
same computer was running at a reasonable speed, at least at
640x480x16bits. On another computer (2x450MHz) with a G400 DH no max,
I don't experience this problem: getting around 15 fps avg @800x600x16bit
for utbench.
