games on a 450Mhz computer
goofy:
Just for the record, I tested out a few games on a 700Mhz, Win98, 128MB RAM, MAME 0.56 on Arcade@Home Frontend v0.37b and here are a few of the results:
Street Fighter 60/60 FPS
Street Fighter II about 30/60 FPS
Puzzle Bobble 2 about 20/60 FPS

Ok, if you are only getting those numbers then your computer has a virus, is poorly configured, or you have some other issue. A quick test showed SF 2 running at 150 frames per second on my pentium 733 laptop.
Once again, you have a virus, you have a configuration issue, or you don't have enough ram and are hitting the swap file constantly.

A few more test of same roms across different versions.
Testing environment is a Pentium 3 733 laptop, using mamepp.exe
I did a single full install of .55 and simply copied the .exe files for .65, .75, and .86 into the installation folder with each version renamed to its version number. That way all versions are sharing the same configs, etc.

In no cases here was the newest version the fastest version, although SOME games did better using a new version than .55
EDIT, more tests
