It's the game (I suppose :-)
I used to play xboing on SPARCstatic 2 a several years ago,
but when I play it on these-day's PC,
the ball moves too fast and I can't hit it even once.
# Even with sound-on, SFX-on, speed low

After I quit the game, the pending sounds in the buffer
takes time to be consumed.

For me, it seems there's no timer used in xboing.
It's just running in full speed, which was good enough
for those SPARCstations.
