Ouch, that sucks... This thing won't look very good at all when it runs at less than half the speed it's supposed to... ! Wonder why, could it be Win 10 related? Do you have any antivirus software running? (some of them do a quick scan every time an executable is run).
(About the W flag, this is the (minimum) wait in milliseconds per frame. So W12 is 1000/12 = 83, which means the target frame rate for this effect is 83 FPS, which is approximately what I get.)
Could you try one more thing? The new version of cmdgfx allows running as a server, which takes away the startup overhead. Save this in the same folder as the demo as server.bat and run it. Does it perform better? (if not, how about with W0? As a final attempt, remove or comment out the line: cmdgfx "" knW9 completely. If that doesn't do the trick I don't know what will)

This thing runs quite smoothly on my old Windows 7 machine, but I don't recall ever trying cmdgfx on a Win10 machine. Hmmm. Just to be sure, can you check that no other process is hogging a lot of the CPU time? (On my machine, Firefox likes to use a lot of CPU, I sometimes have to kill it). It seems that Windows does not give a high priority to the cmd window. Also, antivirus programs might slow it down, especially if running in sandbox mode.
