My development machine is fairly zippy with a decent graphics card. The production machines to which our software is deployed have a much lower specification and no graphics card (uses Intel shared memory). On the production machines, there is noticeable flicker when performing certain actions. But on the development machine, the flicker is hard (or nearly impossible) to detect.
Are there (temporary only!) tricks I could apply to slow down the development machine and try to reproduce and then profile the performance issues? Installing the entire development environment on one of the production machines is unfortunately not an option. Note that any tricks / suggestions must be strictly reversible! :o)

3What about running it on a virtual machine? – James P – 2015-07-20T09:16:55.340
That's a reasonable suggestion, thanks. I occasionally use VirtualBox at home, so I'll see about using that at work. – AlainD – 2015-07-20T09:20:44.163
@James, I strongly feel you should move your comment to an answer. IMO it's the best solution – Dave – 2015-07-20T09:51:13.100
Whoever downvoted this care to explain? @James: Agree, this could be an answer which I will accept (and please upvote the question so its at least neutral). – AlainD – 2015-07-20T12:30:25.440
