Thing is I don't remember having this problem when I last played (and beat) it. I had an Athlon XP 2600+ back then, and now I have an Athlon 64 X2 4800+. Maybe the dual core has something to do with it, but I tried assigning a single CPU to DOSBox and it didn't change anything. I don't know if DOSBox supports dual cores anyway.
The odd part is that the parts presumably easier on the CPU are the sluggish ones.
PS: Setting the cycles to auto did nothing but keep them at 3000, which is a tad slow for the game overall (3500 or 4000 is better).
