[SOLVED] armyops low performance

I've been using arch for a few months and armyops (2.5) worked quite well (aronud 40 fps average on max details). Lately I'm getting around 15 fps and often below 10 on lowest details It's not playable.
I tried several versions of nvidia driver with the same result. Even tried reinstalling game, installing both game and nvidia driver from .run file but nothing helps.
I'm sure 3d acceleration works well - glxgears 4000+ fps, enemy territory and true combat around 90 fps.

Anyone could tell me where can be the problem? Any help appreciated. TY

Athlon 64 1800MHz, 512 MB ram, GeForce 6600 256MB

P.S.: I really need that game

Re: [SOLVED] armyops low performance

Well i tried changing cpufreq governor from ondemand to performance and fps are much better (average 25). But still it's less than i had before.

Any ideas what can cause the slowdown?

Re: [SOLVED] armyops low performance

This time i tried not to load powernow module and not to start cpufreq daemon and it works as before. Damn.
Is there a way to make work armyops and powernow together? Or i have to disable it every time i want to play?
