@Asabo. The likely reason is that computer is not powerful enough to run A1200 emulation on highest accuracy (cycle-exact). The A4000 model is not cycle-exact, and is therefore easier to emulate. You should get performance results comparable to A4000 if you use A1200 and set accuracy to "Less accurate" in FS-UAE Launcher. Using the non-AGA version is also a good version.
If there is popular demand for it, one alternative is to have a field in the game database which one can use to specify that the game also runs OK on lower accuracy settings. People with slower computers could then enable a Launcher preference to automatically lower the accuracy for games where this is tested to work.
I should add that cycle exact A1200 emulation can be quite demanding on computers, so it is not certain that your computer is that slow

Ahhh... that's why then!
Score for that version changed from 3 to 5. All now have a score of 5 except for the ADF h version, which I give a 4 as all it does is skip the intro (which is only on for about 30 seconds anyway).
The 'Dutch Crack' is the cracking group, not the language information

All variants have been tested, but not played through to completion.
IPF 0623 = The best one to go for, as it has no protection (and never did in the first place).
ADF h = Same as IPF, but only on one disk and missing the intro. Ideal if you wish to skip it (although it's not on for long anyway)
ADF h Dutch crack = Works great, but why is the game still in English?
All the HLM versions work too without any changes to the config.
No WHDLoad exists for the AGA version, but the game is only on 2 disks, supports 2 drives and loads pretty quick anyway.

TODO: OCS/AGA versions separation needed.
