Two issues:

First, statically linked Performer 1.0 binaries are hardware specific.
This was necessary since some 4.0.5 platforms completely lacked the
new RealityEngine GL routines. So a Performer 1.0 binary linked on a
4.0.5 Indigo2 will not use any RE features like multisampling.

Second, when running a 4.0.5 binary under 5.X, the multiple processes
are restricted to a single CPU by IRIX, so you won't get any
multiprocessing benefit.

Performer 1.2 is the only version of Performer really supported on 5.2.
The proper solution is to get Performer 1.2 for the Onyx.
