OpenGL is the fastest backend. If you want more speed, use one of the latest dev builds. They have some new OpenGL extensions that replace Vertex Streaming Hack for a good speed boost on Nvidia cards.
You are probably hitting a CPU bottleneck, though. SMG is a very CPU intensive game. Turning off LLE on thread might fix that problem (LLE on thread doesn't give a speed improvement since the audio backend rewrite).
Thanks - using those settings now and the graphics look great but I still have the slowdown. Runs at an even 60 FPS, then drops to 40 whenever I pick up starbits. Definitely playable, but...

Would you recommend fishing through old versions (I assume 3.5 would be the best bet?) or would I be better off living with the slowdowns?
