I have seen various posts about this; one possible check is this: I
have hDC MicroApps (or FirstApps, or whatever they're calling them
now).  Apparently, when Windows goes after the disk in any manner
(meaning an application program running in a virtual 86 window, or
Windows itself, or any Windows app), and some sound is being 
generated at the same time, Windows will suddenly get extremely
sluggish and will be so until you exit Windows and restart it.

This is a bug acknowledged by Microsoft; they have committed to
fixing it in release 3.1.

Hope that helps!
