A few things: -I found that you can just click on one of the dudes in the first level later to save around 12 seconds. -The old version of the game everybody was running on has now been deleted. -This old version has no lag present in the final level where as all of the newer ports of the game do. -Even with hardware acceleration on you still lose around 1-2 seconds to lag on the final level to old runs. -You could prob get around this by playing the game on a SWF file player but I'm not sure how I feel about an emulator being the fastest version to run on.
