I run Armed Assault in Windows it looks absolutely gorgeous. Btw the 
punisher is an excellent game, first one I played from start to finish 
since a long time. My gaming rig relatively fast:

AMD 4000+
1024 Ram
Videocard XFX 7800 GS    16    6    256-bit    GDDR3/256MB    440MHz    
1300MHz
Sound Audigy 2

The thing is I notice it also in normal usage. Dragging a window  around 
the screen sometime makes the system stutter. That when I noticed in the 
first place that things were wrong. I can perfectly live without games 
in FreeBSD but not with an X server that feels slow and is lagging :-( 
.  For example if I draw circles with a window in Gentoo nothing happens 
but in FreeBSD my desktop freezes for a moment.
