Tempest running slow on my Althon 1800+ under XP. Normal?

Should Tempest be running so slow under XP on my Athlon 1800+?  It stinks.  Am running MAME .99 and the latest WolfMAME.

I don't think my soundcard will work under DOS either though it will in a DOS window ... which I think makes it run faster.

Options without upgrading the PC?

Dervacumen:
That's not a hardware issue.  I run Tempest at full speed with a P3-800.  I'm not familiar with WolfMAME but I'm pretty sure this is a software issue.

What version/OS are you running?
Havok:
Try dropping down a few versions of Mame - most likely that is your problem. I would try something in the range of Mame .84.

Here's the link for older versions of Mame:

set sound to 22050 instead of 44100. That also should help speeding it up a bit.
