You should be able to get decent speed by editing adonthell.ini and
setting double-size to 0. The screen will be much smaller, however. The
problem is, that we perform some heavy blits and there is no hardware
acceleration used yet. But probably soon, we'll figure out how to use
DirectX well, and it will run smoothly (and in fullscreen).
