d3dx function calls stats

It looks like the game calls the various matrix transformation functions A LOT.
In particular the final part of the log is mostly about the top 6 functions,
with a D3DXLoadSurfaceFromFileA("media/ff2.bmp") every now and then.

My guess is that a SSE implementation of D3DXMatrixMultiply and maybe the other
most called functions might help.
BTW, which version of d3dx9_xx.dll does the game use? You could check that by
looking into a +loaddll trace, for example.

Calls for d3dx9_31, 35, 36.
Anyway the first two are redirected to 36.

Andrey, is this still present for you? I tried the demo and it seems to work
fine, but I'm not sure what the bad performance is supposed to look like.

I forced all d3dx9 and d3dcompiler dlls to builtin.

Adding stable download.

Yes, as it says in the first message. Lips animation and mouse cursor are slow.
