I am also having the jerkiness in the corners.  seems worse in turn 4.
Looks like the new or updated tracks are worse.  Night Charlotte seems smooth as

I am running 200MMX w/ Rendition v1000 (Canopus) 32 meg fp memory.
Hard drive light seems to blink when graphics jerks.  Maybe I need more/faster
memory?
No problem with sounds.
