I didn't use version 1.0, so I can't comment on the relative
performance.  However, even when set for maximum cmplexity I find the
performance very good (however, I am running AD on a fast 486).  At
least some of the modules (Aquatic realm, and a few others) can do 256
color support (and, I believe, hi-color support if you have the right
Win drivers).

I've had a number of unexplained crashes that *might* be due to AD 2.0,
although I haven't identified the problem yet.
