[bit.listserv.wp50-l] 5.1 and speed

5.1 is noticeably slower than 5.0. It is slower to load, and slower in many
uses, such as calling macros or even tab (?)(!). I cannot say that it has
anything but a psychological effect (I did not measure the time difference)
but it is noticeable. My experience is based on a 286 machine with 12/16 mhz
and 1 meg. of RAM.
