I don't want to get into a heated argument here, but my background is operating system development, and I've been in that environment for almost 30 years, and I can't think of a single reason why a program would run 2x slower under win95, if you discount the paging problem. And if you discount the problem of having multiple applications running and sharing cpu resources. Other than those two things, there is *nothing* I can think of that would cost you 2x. You ought to run the windows resource monitor to see what is going on, because I have never seen this outside of the two exceptions mentioned above...
