I can't compare just yet as I really should have gone to sleep hours ago, but nevertheless keep in mind what I said about the Windows task manager.
Another way to explain it is that, on a quad core CPU, if you have the first 2 cores maxed out and the last 2 cores idling, it can sometime appear that all 4 cores are instead running at 50% load.
I also just want to mention that I believe F-Zero GX actually will run at 30fps with normal speed if you can't run the game at 60fps which may be why the frame skipping is causing issues.
