There is an issue with DOM2, SDL, OpenGL and ATI cards:
No matter what system you have, what screen resolution you're running, you'll get either 8,15 or 32(?) fpm.
But it is NOT over-use of ressources, it's a programming glitch in one of the sub-systems (not necessarily even in DOM itself).
E.g. it runs with 25+fpm on my P3/400 (G2Ti) and only with 15 fpm at work (D1800/Rad7000).
And, at Last, I really like the interface.

fpm? Frames per minute? Now THAT would be a "glitch"
The problem is unlikely to be addressed by ATI though. The majority of other games do not have that problem, and the Dom2 community is too small to have an impact on their driver development. Although, I heard they almost rewrote their OpenGL implementation for the 4.9 Cats. Maybe THEN my X800 will give me more than 16 fps during battles.
The interface is ok. Right click or left click doesn't matter you get used to it. The messaging system IMO is the part of the GUI that needs fixing. I'd even propose collecting money from the community to "sponsor" their programming time to rewrite it.
