This could make Celestia questionable for the ISO; could I get 
some opinions from others?

On my 700MHz Duron with 128MB ram and a 32MB board, 1.2.5 is so
slow it's unuseable.  1.2.4 was much faster, so people with older
machines might want to use it, but I had problems compiling it
with gcc3 (and as yet haven't bothered to download the the old
gcc2).  Maybe I should just upgrade my machine...

Hmm, the pre 1.0 version I first tried was even faster... funny that.
