The general factors effecting 3d drawing speed are:
        shadows (on/off)
        board display size (+ screen resolution)
        graphics driver (opengl)

For example with a small window and no shadows I get 350 fps and with a
large window and shadows set I get 131fps.

Your monitor probably works at about 70fps, so anything above this makes
no difference.  It's possible that some of the code I wrote runs slowly
on your graphics card (as there are some unusual calls in there).
