my thoughts, which, just random neurons firing in my thought bucket...
An FPU won't help with the game, but maybe it'd relieve some of the background processes? Probably not, IDK. I replaced my LC040 with a full 040, with a speed bump(33 to 40mhz), but haven't modded the board yet, and there's no real change between the old and new CPU (Performa 640CD)
Have you tried lowering the resolution or color bit depth? Not sure if either are possible without negating LSL7 requirements. Might be worth a shot though, if you can. There was a game back in the day ('93/94) that I loved to play, but it was horrendous on my Mac... I learned to love playing i in gray scale at home (at school, I could play it in full color... with teacher permission, of course!)
Make sure cache is turned on? My P640CD is a LOT quicker with cache turned on.
The last two things I can think of: RAM disk (to copy the game to before playing) and 60ns RAM...
I don' tknow if either of these would be helpful (I'm sure Phipli can chime in - friggen fathoms of Mac info in their head! Amazing!)
