The PGM2 audio chip is an absolute beast of a thing, which I believe can decompress multiple MPEG streams on the fly. It's a pretty baller chip, and it seems that they're making full use of it in the new version.
Haze posted a screenshot of MAME's internal profiler when running PGM2, and roughly 60% of the time spent processing each frame was spent handling the audio chip. Only 8% was spent on emulating the CPU.
