I've had success here, using MinGW with Allegro WIP 3.9.32.

Vitamins (a DirectX game I developed with Allegro for Windows)
runs just fine on all the Windows 2000 boxen I've tried it on.

Faster?  How about 3 minutes to close some applications (counting
reboot time) once you have lots of popular apps installed?  If you
don't feel like trading stability for speed, you might try a GNU/Linux
system.  Allegro runs there too (I've used it with Red Hat 6.1).
