Game: Princess Clara Daisakusen (prikura).
I have two PCs
1. Celeron 1 GHz
2. Athlon 2,4 GHz
On both PCs I have identical speed in this game (wolf103) - about 30-40% for frameskip 0. Why? It's 1,4 Ghz difference.

I get good speed on my AthlonXP 3000+ (2.17GHz), and BBH obviously gets just as good a speed on his 2.4GHz P4. Celerons (and any other budget CPU) aren't recommended for emulation anyway. Stick with the P4/AthlonXP/Athlon64/Opteron instead.
Don't expect blinding speed on ST-V games either, even though they are many times faster than they were before 0.102u5.

Problem was in my old grphics card. Now I have new Radeon 9200 but speed is too low still - about 80%.
CPU. Athlon XP 2400
graphics: Radeon 9200
RAM: 256
Better CPU is required probably.
PS. Identical speed (about 80%) I have in Brave Blade and Xevious 3D.

A different video card will make little difference at all with MAME. MAME does not use video card features for video rendering. It's all done in software (ie: your PC's CPU does all the work), for accurary reasons.
Not only that, but it's the CPU emulation that tends to eat up cycles. Twin SH-2 CPUs, very tightly synchronised, on the most evil hardware ever, isn't all that fast to emulate.
Blame Sega.
