PErformance on 68000 machines
I was thinking, there are a lot of games, like Zool 2, which suffer from extra slowdown when in WHDLoad form, compared to their floppy versions, because of blitter waits and faster processors (if i am not wrong).
Does this still happen on 68000 machines? I am thinking of getting one of kipper's 8MB RAM expansions, and wonder if this would still be a problem or not. |

There are one or two slaves which suffer from this. Mainly the slave authors never tested on 7MHz 68000.
But if you contact the slave author they usually provide a fix in a few days. Turrican III used to be one of the worst, the TFMX 7-channel intro used to stutter terribly. Reported it and Psygore fixed it! |

idem slowdowns suffer chaos engine AGA that's not a problem of faster processors is a problem of bad whdload slaves in the case you have an ECS machine you will not suffer slowdowns because those bugs affects only AGA games |

Most of the patches should have been updated to skip these patches on 68000 machines by now anyway and if not, open a report on the Mantis bugtracker as alexh already said. |
