A known issue with Monkey Island 2 Special Edition is the built in frame limiter locking the FPS around 51. This can make the game appear to stutter. There is a way to uncap the FPS, and has been tested recently in some speedruns. It seems to have almost no impact on the IGT of the run, however it will noticeably improve the RTA performance due to removing most/all of the load time between screens. To restate, the auto-splitter/load remover already handles timing the run without loads, but running with uncapped FPS is a nice QOL change.
Going forward we are going to allow runs using the uncapped FPS adjustment with one caveat. We ask that you display the FPS on screen. This can be done easily by using the Steam Overlay feature or using FRAPS (fraps.com). If you submit a run done with uncapped FPS make sure to select Yes under the variable for uncapped FPS, additionally if your run does not include an FPS display it may be rejected.
