when you run 16-bit applications on NT, you invoke the WOW engine (Windows
On Windows). This usually makes for a larger memory footprint ... and
having to thunk between the16 and 32 bit environments. I'd suspect that is
making your laptop swap pretty heavily and hurting performance. secondly,
NT allows you to choose priority levels of foreground and server
applications, which will also impact performance. lastly NT spawns threads
and executes them wonderfully ... spawning applications (and your case a WOW
shell as well) it is dismal at.
