ADoom and DoomAttack really are not any crappy conversions. They are actually much better than original Doom engines on PC :)

Don't forget that if you play doom in one of the AGA screenmodes, then games like doom must do chunky2planar -conversion (C2P). C2P conversion is needed because Amiga chipsets use planar style graphics when PC gfx card chipsets use chunky style graphics. Games like Doom are usually designed to use chunky style graphics. C2P conversion ofcourse takes some time and slows game down.

If you have Amiga with GFX-card, and if you run Doom in one of the RTG screenmodes, then Doom runs MUCH faster. If you have GFX card then c2p conversiuon is not needed, and gfx cards are much faster than AGA anyway.
