I started playing a game that I last played over a year ago. Both times cycles was set to default, but now it's WAY slower, with much more lag with animation and sprites. I even compared video of it to confirm. I checked the task manager and it seems there's plenty of bandwidth. What could be going on?

If you're using the output=opengl setting then make sure that vsync is not enabled. Opengl+vsync is known to cause a slowdown/lag effect in DOSBox with some video drivers.

If that's not the cause of your issue, it is at least a good example of the kind of thing to look at, because video drivers are definitely something that could have changed between one year ago and now.
