"GameRunner is based on Linux Image-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin
kernel and Om2008.9-gta02-20081117.rootfs. XGlamo is providing X."

OMG, it's sooo old! I think you can make it a LOT faster by using
newer kernel (for instance, andy-tracking HEAD), and maybe X.org
instead of Xglamo (but with this one i'm not sure if it will give
performance boost, but I believe it will :P)
