OpenGL was never meant for software rendering. It might be speedy on a dual
PII-450Mhz, but there's no point to using it unless you're specifically
targetting an audiance who will have OpenGL equipped hardware. Allegro is a
very good alternative to OpenGL, and DirectX (if you have the time to learn
it) is even better.
