I tried out the Nebula emulator.  Similar performance as Mame.  100% CPU.  Almost identical lag issues.

Although if you have seen it running faster before (using MAME, as other Neo-Geo emulators might be tweaked to prevent slowdown), then ignore my ramblings.

I wouldn't doubt it from what I am experiencing.  I'm just surprised that they would release a game in such an unpolished state.

Wow, so I just verified.  Metal Slug 2 had slow down issues.  That's just the way it is.  That is why Metal Slug X was released.  From wikipedia:

A revised version of Metal Slug 2, titled Metal Slug X, was released on March 1999 for the Neo Geo MVS. It fixed problems with slowdown present in Metal Slug 2, and increased the difficulty. Metal Slug X also introduced a few new elements to the Metal Slug 2  game system. New weapons and items were added, such as the "Iron Lizard" and the "Drop Shot". The enemy placement and bosses were re-arranged as well.

Is it a slow down due to Mame or due to the NeoGeo having too much on the screen?  I know in Metal Slug 2, certain parts of the game slowed down on the actual machine due to tons of stuff on the screen at the same time.  That machine ate many of my quarters!
