Yea, that's common... the problem with Framerate-driven-gamespeed is if you have an unstable framerate... issues occur.
Though vSync only helps people with computers who can pop out a framerate that is greater than their monitor's refresh rate.
That's one of the reasons I was pushing for a 30FPS lock in the patch... it's much more stable even in massive slowdowns.
