	What about Jason Harper's "FillMaze" and "PolyGonia I" (as in 1)?
I got 60 frames/second with FillMaze (even with the auto-solve on), and I got
some decent frame rates with PolyGonia. They were basically demos of what
can be done with fill mode... Oh, the 60 frames/sec thing - I do have a TWgs,
but a friend who doesn't said that he got 50some frames/sec with a 2.6MHz gs.

	For those who haven't seen them, FillMaze is a 3D maze program, and
PolyGonia is a 3D object viewer (the objects are predefined, and they rotate
around - I believe you can control the rotation, but it's been a little
while since I've run the thing). I think they qualify as "killer demos" :)
