Well, have you profiled your code? Win 95 adds a bit of overhead, it's
especially noticeable on the slower computers. The best thing to do is
figure out what parts of your code are causing the largest delays and
work on optimizing those sections to the best of your ability. Another
possible solution is to get a larger chunk of time from Win 95, I know
this used to be possible in Win 3.11. I'm not sure how you'd go about
this in this case.
