I started up windows 3.0 on my 20Mhz 386 and it ran sluggishly.
The mouse would jump from spot to spot on the screen and not move smoothly.
Whatever was wrong? I checked info and lo, I was running in large EMS mode.
Ah ha, that DOS shell I had invoked windows from -- it was a shell from
windows in Enhanced mode.
Moral: Windows in windows is slow.
