I tried it in a window and full screen and it was too slow to be usable either way. However, if I used TOS 1.04 with the Hatari Falcon executable, it ran at a normal speed.
The SDL rendering is infamously slow. As an experiment I did a few month ago, I replaced the current rendering in Hatari with an OpenGL backend. The CPU consumption decreased from around 40% when running an STE fullscreen demo, to around 10%.
It would be awesome to get this into Hatari some time in the future. Maybe for release 2.0, Hatari goes OpenGL. :)
