[pygame] Pygame performance on Linux?

[Greg Ewing <greg.ewing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Linux machine, with a CPU speed of supposedly
2.8GHz, on which pygame performance appears to be
abysmal. Just doing display flips and nothing else,
with an 800x6000 window, it can't get to 20fps. At
10fps, it's using about 75% CPU.

Should I be able to expect better than this?

Under the same conditions, my dual 1.25GHz PPC does
20fps using only about 20% of its total CPU.
