Full details are on the patch notes, but it's not that the dance is relative to processor speed, it's that all those dancers dancing at the same time slowed down the whole program back then, so Sierra temporarily set the game speed to highest to compensate. The lag stopped long ago so the compensation makes it run awkwardly fast.
