OK, I've placed os/2 (GA + SP) on my secretaries 486/33 (8 megs, 200meg HD,
and speedstar video).  She's been complaining that the machine is horribly
slow, prints very slowly (HPLJIII).  Ya know, she's correct.  So, I made all
the changes in the FAQ, disk has 120megs free, swap file seems to be set 
correctly.  Machine seems to swap constantly, if she switches from a windows
app back to the desktop the swap can take 30 seconds.  As to printing, she's
correct as well.  It takes 1.5-2 minutes to print the first page of a document.
(Laserjet has 5 megs of memory).  I've made the changes in the FAQ here as well.
Anyone with any thoughts?  (The machine runs as though it has only 4 megs of 
memory!)
