One thing you can try (if you don't have an SNES version of the game, and don't want to upgrade the PC is overclocking/underclocking the game in MAME).

It's a pain on an arcade cab, but can give decent results and it's free.  Here's how -

Start MAME with the -cheat option:

mame.exe gamename -cheat

or

cheat    1
 
in mame.ini or gamename.ini

Once the game starts, hit F11 to view the FPS counter, and press the tilde key and use the up arrows until you see options like CPU1 overclock, CPU0 overclock.  Try REDUCING the CPU percentage (probably on both CPU's but you can experiment) until the framerates come up.

I am trying to get someone to set MAME up so this can be done automatically from the .ini files, but haven't had much luck so far - see these threads for more info.
