New graphics and sounds don't slow down Doom much, but the maps do. The
bigger the map the slower it will run. However, even the biggest map can
become managable with a good nodes builder and a good reject table. A level
with a lot of monsters practically NEEDS a reject table built, in fact.
If you really need to know if a level will run well on a slower computer,
FIND a slower computer and try it out.
