the jaguar maps were designed to increase framerate. it worked because on ps and saturn, those maps run better than the doom 2 maps included on disk. its not like those ports were THAT significant of an upgrade anyways. They still ran in software which crippled performance. The playstation had the better end of the stick, while the saturn was just shafted.

If the ports used more of the hardware on the consoles, framerate might've seen an increase on both consoles. It also could've allowed for higher level geometry if it ran good enough.
