Control speed

Hello,
I used to play the original game back when I was young, and I really like Blockout II. There is one issue for me that maybe someone can help me with. I have tried running the game on many different machines and on all of them the controls seem somehow slow compared to the DOS-version. I mean they react fast but somehow a few of the commands tends to get lost. I think it\'s like when I press a key for a rotation, it starts, but if I press and release another rotation key before it finishes then the second rotation is not performed. I only feel the difference in situations where I do something like hitting-and-releasing 5 keys simultaneously (e.g. 3 rotations and up and right) and then the same again, and at least 4 of the commands will not be executed. It\'s as if the old version somehow buffered the commands. Is this just my imagination or do you feel the same? Or is there some setting to compensate for that?
