I've (like most of the rest of the world it seems) had problems with the
speed in 386 enhanced mode.  On a couple of machines this problem was solved
by chaning five little DIP switches on the main circuit board (of a Zenith
386) which seem to deal with caching of extended memory.  The speed increase
was very noticable.
