In my experience, when something runs far slower than expected, it's pretty easy to knock off a few defects and get a significant speed up. The difficulty comes in fine tuning the performance. I'm confident that Big Robot can get us comfortably into playable frame rates quickly - getting it on par or faster than the Windows build is the tricky part.
