there seems to be something wrong with your machine. you should
get really good performance with the microfield (regarding graphics
speed) and the 486 (regarding general performance). i think the 
problem is with the mouse, perhaps the serial port is on the 
wrong interrupt or something. You've got Real Nice Hardware,
and interactive is really able to use it!

we used a 386/25 with a microfield and a genius mouse with
very good results.

keep trying!
