Heh. I've just remembered that I'm still using DOSBox 0.62. I've just downloaded 0.63, and I'll see how it goes...
[edit]...damnit! No change.[/edit]
[edit again]Ok, a bit more detail about what configs I've tried.
priority=highest, low
memsize=64 #at present; tried with 256 as well - didn't help
frameskip = 0
cycles=7600 #Intel Pentium 4 2Ghz
rate=22050
blocksize=3048
prebuffer=900
mpu401=false
[sblaster]type=sb16
gus=false
pcspeaker=false
disney=false
xms=true
ems=false #same story as Privateer
modem=false
directserial=false
ipx=false
As for the core: dynamic terminates immediately, full runs slowly with skipping sound, simple and normal both run fine with the sound skipping slightly with normal (none fix the problem, of course). For the record, I'm running Strike Commander on it's own lowest detail settings as well.
I also tried loadfix, which didn't help either.

[another edit]Using loadfix to allocate all but the 4mb Strike Commander needs to run didn't help either...[/another edit]
