One more step, which is actually the whole reason for doing the above:
run bcx instead of bc.

My results building whello.prj from the BC++ examples directory on a
Compaq Portable 386/20 with lots of memory:

 1) using bc.exe under DOS: ~16 seconds
 2) using bc.exe with tkernel loaded under win/s and no pif
    (which is a worst case - bc.exe doesn't make use of tkernel,
     which just takes memory away from it, and without a pif bc has
     no EMS memory available for fast swapping): ~5 minutes
 3) using bcx.exe with tkernel and win/s as above, no pif: ~12 seconds
