I've noticed Wood R4 slowdown in a number of games, including the Sims 3 and DQIX.
Games which usually use condensed larger sprites to show a better-quality character, like in DQIX. In DQIX, 4 characters with eqquipment on causes noticeable frame-rate drops, and monsters on-screen slow the game to roughly 3/4 of regular speed, which leaves you pressing the stylus on the screen for seemingly infinite time.
In 'The Sims 3, Europe Version', leaving your lot and going out to the town, which uses a massive map with sprites on that can be zoomed onto, (ie condensed sprites again), the game becomes equally as sluggish as DQIX. Cheats off makes no difference.
This, I believe, is not a bug but some kind of inherent flaw with the way Wood handles its games. As its filesize grew, so did the loading times, and games played with Wood 1.04 tend to play faster than 1.15. In case you'd like to know, I have a Kingston 2GB MicroSD with a genuine R4.
