I have the latest release of zsnes, but sometimes while playing I experience random slowdowns and choppyness. It's completely random and happens in every game. Somebody told me that random slowdowns happen on dual core machines, but I set the affinity of zsnes to 1 core and it still happens.
Here is my system setup
Windows vista ultimate 64 bit
4gb ram
e6700 core 2 duo
geforce 8800gtx evga 768mb
x-fi extreme gamer sound card
Random slowdowns

I'm not seeing any such issues on Vista Ultimate 32-bit with lower-end hardware (E6300/G965/2GB/HD3870/HD audio). I would expect this to either be a 64-bit Vista quirk or (more likely) some other process running in the background wreaking havoc with your performance.
The usual suspects are antivirus/spyware programs, network applications (BT and other P2P), and malware (viruses, worms, spyware etc).
It should go without saying that any other intensive applications such as video rendering/encoding have a decent likelihood of impacting performance in other programs as well.

Why yes, my shift key *IS* broken.

Well, I just said it to avoid complications. Bsnes v0.28 does not run full speed on my PC, yet version 0.17 does. I intend to use this until speed optimizations can be made or until Zsnes 2.0 (or whatever the next version's called)comes out. So, yes, it's just an easy answer for a temporary issue. This is my opinion and others will likely disagree with me, so forgive me for ranting.
