Diadem of Maunstraut

A lot of times software developed for older equipment behaves funny on modern equipment, and can surprisingly consume a lot more resources than you'd expect. Also the minimum requirements assume SoM is the only process at play. Realtime processes can be very fickle when sharing resources in any environment. I know for a fact I can adjust SoM's so that it will play at a snails pace on my graphics programming machine, which as you say has specs several times over what Fromsoftware lists as the minimum requirements.

PS: Also minimal requirements assume minimum resolution etcetera!!
