Been working on this 486 box recently, even replacing the motherboard just so I could upgrade the CPU, and I've noticed some odd speed issues. This is mostly in games, like Jazz Jackrabbit. At times the framerate really slows down. It's a smooth...low framerate, as opposed to becoming a slideshow.
At 66MHZ, I figured this game would run just fine, as I've ran the game on lesser hardware, with no performance issues. Memory doesn't seem to be an issue as far as capacity is concerned. I did notice a low-ish score using TopBench (Score:65). Even on a clean installation, different harddrive, and little to nothing extra loaded on boot, I can fix these speeds issues. The problem happens in other games, but it's not as severe. Windows however, runs fine (I'm running these titles from the CLI).
This is the board I'm using with a 486DX2.

Anyone experience similar issues? I'll provide any additional info if required to help diagnose. Thanks!
