Another way is to knock down your graphical refresh rate in the data/init/init.txt file. I think it's originally set to 50, but you don't need anything close to that. (50 Hz is overkill even for fully-rendered 3d graphics, which I think need 25 Hz to flow seamlessly. For ASCII, 50 Hz is like using a sledgehammer to squash a bug.) I set it to 5, and watched the FPS counter shoot from 15-17 to 80-100. (And then decelerate to 25-30 whenever I looked down a level... hope that bug gets fixed soon.)</STRONG>

Be warned this will make the game choppy as hell and won't actually give much of an improvement for most people in most cases. It does not change the refresh rate of the screen but how often the graphics are updated (and updating the graphics is no real strain on your computer).
