I have a question for all those out there with 286s running Windows 3.0.

I'm trying to run multiple tasks, mainly non-Window's apps.  Switching
tasks with Alt-Tab is painfully slow.  I have 5mb of memory and I run in
Standard mode.  Is there anyway to get Windows to swap tasks much quicker?
I know on a 386 this is jack-rabbit quick (comparatively speaking).  Am I
stuck with having to get a coffee everytime I swap tasks?

I hope someone can help.
