 It would appear there is a major issue based on comparisons between 0.130u1 and 0.130u2. The only obvious thing I can see related to this is:

nemesis.c fix [Hau]
 - Fixed screen priority problems in Kitten Kaboodle.
 - Added flip screen & cocktail support.
- Merged memory maps in hyprduel.c

Done incorrectly?

 In 0.130u2 the video emulation for this game was partially rewritten. It's the cause of the performance decrease. Reverting back the code (which is quite tedious and complicated and breaks Magical Error, it seems) fixes the issue.

 Looks like performing rasters on sprites too is the cause of the slow video emulation. With a kludge you can avoid this and get full speed. Though it should be verified against real hardware.

This reminds me a similar issue with FUUKIFG2.C and FUUKIFG3.C drivers, which is already reported here.

 This got a speed boost in 0.157 and runs now at almost the same speed as in 0.130. Closing.
