I would be money on it that terminator X does poor quality interpolation
rather than the high quality interpolation of something like Secret Rabbit 
Code:

Maybe terminator X could be modified to use the rabbit but then it may have
trouble running on lower powered machines.

The basic rule is that good quality interpolation is not cheap.
