I use its SB digitized sounds, and sometimes it'd slow down quite a bit when a sound was being played. It goes away after I played it for a couple minutes, though. One thing I've noticed about multitasking Wolf3D is that if you switch between it and some application with a graphical display (like Program Manager), the game's graphics screw up. It doesn't, however, when it's switched directly to a text display and back. Lacking a printer, I've had to play the game while switching to the ASCII maps, and the display has never screwed up. Carl graphics would screw up
