Weird... my laptop can play Half Life 2 Episode 2 at good framerates, and Doom 3 runs really smoothly.

This demo, however, really struggles, even when I'm just looking at the sky.

It seems to start of fast and smooth, but then within 2 seconds the framerate drops to 2-3 fps, and then gets steadily worse.
When it takes 3 or 4 seconds for a frame to display, I quit.
It only takes around 15 seconds to get that bad.
It's like there's a memory leak or something.

I'm sure the problem lies with my laptop, but as I said, HL2:ep2 and Doom3 run really well on it.

The fps drop even happens with the following demo settings:
resolution: 640x480
shader quality: none
texture filtering: point
texure quality: medium
grass quality: none
windowed: no
vsync: off
lightmap: off
lights: off
