Getting a better video card if any are available would be the best way.

• Better graphics card
• New Mac
• Reduce display resolution
• Reduce or turn of anti-aliasing
• Reduce number of colours
• Reduce object complexity, lighting effects, shadows
• Quit other applications

I think the root of your problem is running a G3 but the above-mentioned tips should help, though you're still CPU-bound.
