I'm just guessing here, but I noticed that when I run the JED editor 
(compiled with DJGPP) under Win95, everything else slows to a crawl. This 
didn't happen under Win3.1, my guess is that the DPMI functionality in 
Win95 stinks.

I'm no DPMI guru, but the performance hit (not only on JED, but on all 
other Windows apps too) is so noticeable that I can't help forming this 
conclusion.
