- Try 1.99q with:
-
- executor -nosound -oldtimer
-
- and see if that's much faster for you. The old sound library was
- doing continuous DMA, and the timer code was causing thousands of
- protected mode/real mode mode switches per second.
-
- The slower performance that's been reported has been relative to
- 1.99q12, and turns out to be (at least in one case) because of
- different Win95 settings.
