Agreed on other counts except for FPU.
Quake performs one FPU divide per pixel for texture mapping perspective correction.
ARM7TDMI does not have any kind of divide, so perspective correction is tricky, even if it's just 120 px horizontally.

By the way, it's "d_scan.c" for anyone who's trying to web search for it.
Quake had to do this because it would have been too much especially for a low-end Pentium when it was released in 1996. Yes it is not even noticeable, especially at low res.
There are some user made maps however where this can be seen (e.g. i remember playing a map which was supposed to be inside a fantasy town and it used a bunch of wood-on-wall textures that made the distortion apparent).
