Subject: "cpu/bus-frequency missing" problem

Hi,
I also have a same problem
which David wrote in June 20, "slow as molasses:,
and Timothy wrote in Feb 4, "MOL performance quirks."
I'm running mol on a 8500 with 300MHz G3 card. However, mol runs
slow.... windows open so slowly (Finder works as same as that
on MacOS started up natively).
I guess these reported problems are same, caused by
"cpu/bus-frequency missing" problem.
Does anyone know the reason why and solution to fix it?
In Feb 5, Samuel told in his mail;
"Ok, this is apparently a MOL bug. I'd appreciate if someone with
this bug could try uncommenting line 31 in mol/emulation/timer.c
(#define TEST_TIMER). "
Is there any following report to the uncommenting?
This might be only one possible solution for that problem.
I could not find any information in the mailing archive.
Thank you.
