The filters are awesome, they do slow thigs down quite a bit, but i'm thinking that it will be improved in the future.
Wtf? Boycott Advance for DOS? Ehm, no. Check our GBA ranking page for an overview of the best GBA emulatours out there.

As for The "oddness" of VisualBoyAdvance: it's quite natural really. Lots of emulators run slower in say, a 320x240 window while you're @ 1280x1024, while it runs faster in 'pure' 6480x480 because it doesn't need to resize everything.
In fullscreen I barely notice any slowdown with the filters, and that's on a Celly 366@550 and a G400 vanilla. The filters make lots of games look great, and there's nearly no reason for me to run VBA in window mode (aside from the fact my monitor sometimes gives a high noise at any other res than 1280x960 :/). It's just like playing SNES games

You think Emuforums looks a bit messy? Don't blame me!
