I've been following the suggestions for efficient compiling and
linking of C++ programs using Borland C++ while running under 
Windows 3.0.  The consensus on the net seemed to be to load 
tkernel first and then run Windows in the standard mode as follows:

          tkernel hi=yes kilos=1024
          win /s

I tried this and obtained the following results:

	1)  Windows operation seemed to hesitate and stumble around
a bit but otherwise did not seem too slow;
	2)  Ordinary C++ programs, e.g., the circle example from the 
Borland manuals seemed to complie fairly efficiently (~13 sec);
	3)  Windows applications (Petzold's hellowin program) really 
bogged down (5:24 under Windows vs. 0:18 under DOS).

Is there something else I should be doing or, were the above results
as good as I can expect?

BTW - my machine is a Compaq 386/20e with 5 MB of RAM.
