Is there another way to fork sounds?

Here's my problem. I'm trying to make a game entirely in turing (no pics, music, ect.) and the actual program is pretty good, it just gets kinda boring without sounds. Here's an example of what happens in my program, the first ball drops smooth, but the oher one tries to incorporate sounds, and get choppy/laggy.

Turing:

setscreen ("graphics:200;500,nobuttonbar,offscreenonly,position:center;center") colorback (9) process sounds (blah : int)     sound (blah + 300, 1) end sounds for decreasing i : maxy .. 1     cls     drawfilloval (maxx div 2, i, 10, 10, 10)     View.Update     delay (2) end for for decreasing i : maxy .. 1     cls     drawfilloval (maxx div 2, i, 10, 10, 10)     if i mod 20 = 0 then         fork sounds (i)     end if     View.Update     delay (2) end for

ran fine on my comp...

Really? Maybe it's my dad's crappy comp. I'll try it at school. . .

Ok, yeah it runs smoother on faster comps, but try this, withotu the if statement, it's twice as slow. .

Turing:

setscreen ("graphics:200;500,nobuttonbar,offscreenonly,position:center;center") colorback (9) process sounds (blah : int)     sound (blah + 800, 1) end sounds for decreasing i : maxy .. 1     cls     drawfilloval (maxx div 2, i, 10, 10, 10)     View.Update     delay (2) end for for decreasing i : maxy .. 1     cls     drawfilloval (maxx div 2, i, 10, 10, 10)     fork sounds (i)     View.Update     delay (2) end for

The more hertz you increase, the more time it takes i guess.
