And they might be using wrong sound card;-)

For example I got 80-120% occupancy most of the time, and 130-150% in
starts with 8-bit mono SB clone. I upgraded to SB16, and occupancy
increased to 190-300% in starts. So changing the soundcard selection
might increase frame rate considerably.

An FM sound option might have been nice... in ICR2 and Nascar it
really makes a difference. The sampled sounds are great, but I'd
say speed and playability is more important than nice aural
effects (driving with no sound, however, is close to impossible).
