Thanks for the tip, Thomas.

The reason I asked the question here is because I hoped someone (like
you) would know that FPS is what I need to be looking at. You did. I
didn't, until now. Thanks.

However, I googled on "CPU speed", "Descent", "problem" in the groups.
Saw a bunch of stuff on D3, but not THIS problem on D2.

The site you so kindly pointed me to does not mention this problem in
any way that I can find, either. Maybe I'm just a bonehead and missed
it? At any rate, I'll work on the FPS thing now that you've pointed me
in the right direction.

Thanks again, oh reluctant savior!
