When I play a mod under Windows NT, and display a scrolling text message,
the mod sound becomes jerky, and I assume the process can’t get enough
cycles for itself.

It’s running on a Celeron 466, and I thought playing a mod took very few
cycles. There is no such problem under Windows 9x on a Pentium II 300.

Is playing music simply more time consuming under NT without Direct X?________________________________________________________________________
