Just downloaded and tried it --- The display is fairly smooth, but the sound is off. There's about a 1 second delay (maybe a little more) between actions and the sound that corresponds to them. That'd make it kinda hard to play a net game -- in many instances, by the time you heard the sound, you'd be dead.
Other than that, it looks okay. If anything, it _feels_ faster than .91, 1.0 or 1.01 did. (IMHO)
