I tried a while ago and managed to obtain almost 1GB of local data from
the server. Then they would only run up to a certain point, and I
haven't tried again since.

Some hardware+software combinations have really good 3D performance on
NetBSD. My last working setup was:
- modular Xorg from pkgsrc-2013Q1
- Mesa from pkgsrc-wip at version 7.8.x
- radeonhd Xorg driver
- ATI/AMD RadeonHD 4870

With this I got to play Quake III multihead, 3360x1050, with a constant
120fps IIRC.

Would be awesome to get it even farther :)
