Pentium memcpy patch. Unintended effect?

I patched and compiled 2.1.25 with the Pentium memcpy patch. Everything
works fine, except for Quake. Now, Quake runs a fair bit choppier.

I'm not really concerned about Quake. I'm more concerned whether this is
some kind of defect in my hardware, or simply a side effect of the design
of Quake. The latter seems more likely.

The system is a P133, 32MB EDO RAM, Premio motherboard (model unknown),
XFree86 3.2.

Regards.
