I noticed, while listening to MIDI's on my IBM Model 25, with it's V30 CPU, is that some music studder quite badly, while other songs, while more complex, don't at all..
What can cause this? It seems to be "patch" related, as if a patch is taking longer than the CPU expects, and then has to wait till that patch has finished playing it's note.. Yet, with the same sound card in a 486, there's no studder at all..

Any insights on this will be great... And yes, I like these tunes, it's from my favorite Sega Genesis game..
