I looked into the midi slowness problem, and it appears to be a problem with the Windows 2000/XP implementation of mciSendCommand and mciSendString.

Using DirectX's DirectMusic framework would boost the requirements of Dink to DirectX 8, and would require fairly extensive changes to the midi playback functions.

There is another option related to a 'MIDIPlyr' example in MSDN, but the only reference to it I found said it was extremely difficult to implement.
