I really don't know if CPU lag was the problem as I checked CPU usage during the game and it never went higher than 55%. Maybe some other interference with Shockwave although, as I mentioned before, this was the only game with a problem. I did play Level 3 and completed it in less attempts than Level 2. It seems like sometimes when you play there are more occurences of certain bonuses, like Eduardo or extra lives, than others. I just happened to play once where the tire kept appearing which helped me overcome the problem of the sticky hoppers.
