They could be faster, but perhaps you have to nuke the OS to do this :-)
(another flame war start ? :-))
But the game is quite good and entertaining, especially with a good stereo!

If you have 3 megs of ram (or more), the best way to play WINGS is to install
it in ram: (just launch the HD  install procedure and copy it in Ram:), so
that, after each mission, just quit, copy player.dat to a floppy that stays in
your drive, and re-launch wings. I think the whole thing just takes 30 secs.

Being able to HDInstall in ram: is very nice, unlike these bozos at sierra
who check if the destination has enough room to hold the files... failing
miserably with ram: !
