Well - it seems that whatever either of windows 8 or your video drivers (it could be either or both, even) is doing for 256 colour palleted mode is better when it has less pixels to push. But it (or both) seem to be optimised for 16 or more bit colour.
Have you tried setting
graphics delay,
scroll speed, and
unit move delay all to 0?
If windows 8 and/or your graphics driver are optimised for only 16 bit colour modes or better, then Windowed mode at desktop resolution seems to be your best bet as a CD game owner. (As you seem to have discovered anyway!
).
