Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 That's actually not a bug.

 LSL3 does not display these incremental changes when it has detected the
 PC, which it thinks is running it, as sort of slow. We make that happen
 intentionally otherwise other issues pop up, like for example an insane
 amount of bench presses etc.

 The only way to make this happen without causing other problems, would be
 a very small script patch, which would remove the machine speed check from
 the game's own scripts right before it's doing incremental updates.

 LSL3 would act the same way when DosBox would run slowly (but even that
 does not have to work, DosBox is inaccurate in such things). If you tried
 to play the game on original AT hardware, it would do what happens in
 ScummVM.

 The code is inside LSL3::doit.
