For some reason, in VBA 1.6a and 1.7-beta, I'm getting severe slowdown in ROMs. My PC can handle the ROMs, the speed is always at or close to 100%.

In Metroid Fusion, fighting most of the bosses causes the whole game to slow down and for the sound to break up. It's like the GBA CPU is being overloaded, but I know this shouldn't be happening.

Mario Kart Super Circuit does similar, the sound doesn't break up, but the game slows down whenever I get an item like three shells. I hate to think what would happen on the more intense courses.

From what I can remember, these problems didn't occur in VBA 1.5.1 but have suddenly appeared for version 1.6a.

Does anyone else have any similar problems?

For me Automatic frameskip causes all games to feel really slow even though its at 100%, so try turning that off if you have it on.
Also, Vsync often causes my sound to go slow.
