A 486DX33 with a fast VLB card would be around 15/16 FPS... and an SX25 slower still...

Perhaps you are right. I only remember that it was much smoother on the 486SX-25 than my 386DX-40 with ISA bus VGA card.
On my A1200 with 50MHz 030 25 fps feels very smooth, but of course to get that I have to run it in a small window. Normally I run it 2 sizes down with low detail and get 11-20 fps (~15 fps on average), which is plenty fast enough and a satisfactory window size for me.
A 386DX-40 should get similar results to my A1200, and a 486 would be faster so
with those settings 20-25 fps seems believable.
