I ran it on a DX2-66 and I too thought it lagged when in a room with
enemies and the reactor while shooting!  I've since pushed my DX2-66 to
be a DX2-80 and it works MUCH better now.  Hardly and slowdown.  Smooth
as silk over the modem too!  It was only until I fired like 4 or 5
missiles that I noticed it slowed a bit.
