[WEB4LIB] PWB and slowness

[bcraig at internetcds.com]

You might want to take one out of the lineup and 
experiment with it.  Try adding a bunch o' ram first 
off.  

Offhand it sounds like network funkiness.  Might want 
to check what protocols are loaded at boot time. Is it 
a group of seven near each other?  Could be a broadcast 
storm caused by a bad NIC.

Many folks recommend a total format and reinstall of 
Win95 every few months.  I find that regclean works 
nicely too (findable on any big download site, e.g. 
download.com)
