i have a 486dx2/66 and mikmod 2.10 has what many have referred to as
the Future Crew "slowdown" bug.  It appears as though the timer
routine is reentrant when its not supposed to be.  Changing mikmod to
use 8-bit mixing fixes this problem, but i would prefer to have 16-bit
mixing.  Symptoms include "echos" and skipping when playing any truly
complex s3m file.  Perhaps this problem can be fixed in the next
version.  I could never get 2.09beta to run on my machine, but 2.10
runs great except for that bug.
