Subject: Execution speed

I am writing a 3D modeling/animation program using my own graphics
library.  I've noticed that when I boot to DOS, start Windows, quit
Windows, then run my program it runs faster than when I don't run
Windows first.  When I say it runs faster, I'm measuring speed by the
frequency of screen updates.  I can get about 1.5 to 2 times as many
screen updates per second if I run Windows first.  Can anyone explain
this?
