[complaint about bad performance in 386 enhanced mode deleted]

Turn to p. 522 of your Windows manual (that's the page in my manual and yours
may be different) and follow the instructions for setting up a permanent swap
file.  While the performance is still lousy, it's noticeably better with the
permanent swap file.

In case your manual is arranged differently than mine, it's the chapter on
optimizing your system.
