Re: Sweet16 Slowdown..

I don't have any first-hand knowledge of your problem, but you might want to 
check the Intel "Speed Step" settings.  I'm thinking that the emulators 
might be dependent on a fixed clock speed and a lot of the modern systems 
(*especially* portable systems) change the clock (and hence the instruction 
execution rate) dynamically to reduce power and extend battery life. 
There's usually a control somewhere in the OS (or the BIOS) to disable the 
function.
