If you disable the old timerD patching via the GUI, neither Hatari nor EmuTOS 
have good performance.  If you make my change, both have good performance.  
That was my point about the patch.  My change does NOT disable patching.

I did see a difference.  That's why I posted.  I will be following up on 
Nicholas's suggestion re testing on 2.3.  At some point (subject to shipping 
from China), I'll be receiving EPROMs so I can burn EmuTOS for the Falcon.  If 
the cause of the problem is still undetermined by then, I'll be testing Bomb 
Squad on real hardware with TOS & EmuTOS.  That should conclusively prove 
whether it's an EmuTOS issue or a Hatari issue.
