As it turns out, it's the emulator doing what it is supposed to.  The game actually had these lag issues.  See the post above yours for more info.

I know you found it elsewhere but it may help others if I point out that the Mame FAQ has a section that discusses specific games.  Metal Slug 2 isn't covered per se, but the Metal Slug series is:

That's interesting.  Especially this:

"Although the FPS counter shows 100% speed for these games, they may appear choppy. This is true to the original — even the original hardware of these games struggled with them and therefore the choppiness is actually accurate emulation of these games. You may be able to get rid of it in some cases by using the -cheat parameter, hitting the tilde key and browsing the on screen menu until you find "CPU overclocking". This will run the emulated CPU faster which may or may not fix it. It may also cause the emulation to have errors, so don't bug people if overclocking screws up a game. "
