I am using DJGPP v2 on a 486SX/33MHz Notebook with 4 MB RAM (no memory
manager like HIMEM or EMM386 is used). After a few seconds of execution,
both my own compiled programs and the DJGPP programs (compiler,
RHIDE-editor during long find and replace actions) are slowing notably
down. When I then press a key on the keyboard the programs are running
for a few seconds with normal speed before slowing down again. 

I really would like to know what causes this slow-down of runtime
performance and how to avoid it.
