One of those timing patches slowed down the EVA part of Space Quest 5... I still can't beat that stupid, incredibly frusterating thing, but at least it doesn't move at the speed of light anymore. That was very nice... :)
As in, these aren't whole game timing issues. These are specific thing timing issues. Like as I said, in QFG1. Near the end there's a puzzle with a door that stays open for a specific amount of time. In newer computers it cannot be completed because the time runs way too fast. That page's patch for the game should fix that. The ones for Quest for Glory 3 and 4 also fix a bunch of other things... QFG4 shipped notoriously buggy and not all of them were fixed in the patches.
Even the King's Quest V CD? If so, lucky...
