I've been tinkering with an old iMac G3 when I decided to see how the old JJ2 Mac demo (ver. 1.22 s) runs on the machine. (Thanks to Haze for hosting it, still).

Once I got it up and running, I noticed that the controls felt much tighter on the old iMac than they do on my quad-core. Jazz was able to make much quicker turns and stops. Butt-stomps seemed faster as well. The controls felt finely tuned. On my quad-core machine, movement feels more loose and slidey.

Is this in my imagination, or does JJ2 perform better on older hardware?
