No major changes to note with the very basic open-source OpenArena game...

With Tesseract, there wasn't much change in using the Linux 3.19 kernel except for the Radeon R9 290 Hawaii graphics card that was about 5% faster than Linux 3.18 stable.

With Unigine Heaven, the Radeon R9 270X and R9 290 were running slightly faster with Linux 3.19 Git than Linux 3.18 stable.

Unigine Valley also seemed to edge out slightly higher with Linux 3.19, but it wasn't by very demanding margins.
