It takes the system extra time to update each of those color icons. One solution is to switch to black and white for speed (or 16 colors) There is an excellent (in my experience) FKEY called Switch-a-Roo that will do this wth a key press. Also, virtual memory is a major performance dragger. If you want speed turn off virtual memory. File sharing is another performance bane. Be sure it is turned off. Does your IIsi have a fpu? I've been running system 7 for some time now and my only complaints are that it is a memory hog and it doesn't work with Macromaker.
