To quote Microsoft: "that's only because we have a lot of
debuggng code in there.  The final production version will be
at least twice as fast." (source: a speaker at the Win developers
conference at the Moscone center a while back).  Now it's up to
every one of us to either believe that or not.  The way I figure
it is,  that either the above statement is true;  or Microsoft
made _a_big_mistake_ putting too much clock-cycle hungry security
and intelligence into NT;  making it an OS that only a 586/686
PC can devour (or the Alpha,  which is totally ridicolous for
a porting target;  but which _may_ and I stress _MAY_ be a way
out of the DOS-nightmare).
