Yup, if you play on Windows, play in fullscreen.

Depends on the system I guess... My current instalation of WinXP can't handle playing it in windowed mode at all :/
What you may try is assigning a higher priority to the process.

This is very weird... not the normal slow windows console problem... maybe a misconfigured codepage.... do other console applications (i.e., roguelikes :P) work correctly on your box?

Does this also happen on fullscreen? What's your windows version?

Well adom doesn't even do a fraction of refreshing that DoomRl does... I know the problem happens on windowed mode... but it should not on fullscreen. Have you tried setting the doomrl.exe windows options to high priority?

i doubt the priority would help... though worth a shot...
press ctrl+shift+esc,
find a doomrl.exe in a list,
right-click -> Set Priority
try something higher than Normal, but Realtime would be bad idea imo...
