	Forget for the moment flames against the 286, I'm not advocating
buying one but there are a lot of 286 machines out there.  Does anyone
KNOW why Windows 3.0 is a dog on a fast 286 ?

	Is graphics performance the real bottleneck or is the processor
& memory managment just so brain dead that the rest of the application
runs slowly too ?

	The real question is: Do the windows accelorator cards I saw
at Comdex make a 286 usable for windows ?
