From the readme file:

Sound Provider:
The sound API selected inside Grand Theft Auto III options can effect
game performance - try alternative sound providers to achieve better
results. Try Software, MSS Fast, RSX, Direct Sound Hardware, Direct
Sound Software.

Dynamic Acoustic Modeling
Turn off Dynamic Acoustic Modeling in the Sound Options for a small
performance gain.

Trails
Turning off the Trails effect in Grand Theft Auto III display settings
will help increase speed.

Screen Resolution
Selecting lower Screen Resolutions in Grand Theft Auto III display
setup will allow faster gameplay on lower end machines. Also using 16
bit color, instead of 32 bit color, will help in these circumstances.


Also, make sure to close all other apps before launching GTA3, including virus scanner and screen saver.

Keep your hard drive defragged.

If there is a Vsync option in your display settings, disable it.

If your running XP hit Ctrl Alt Delete go to Processes, right click on GTA and Set Priority to High or Real Time. this will take away from other programs running of course.

And you may have to hit the windows icon on the keyboard to minimize GTA and see Ctrl Alt & Delete

Synchronise your blinking with the frames being dropped and you won't notice the crappy framerate.
