I don't think mine is faster in WIN95, I would say they are about the
same. I think that most of peoples problems with Executor or other DOS
programs (when run in windows) is that they need more RAM. On my
486DX2-66 with 8 megs everything was slower in WIN95. On my P90 with
16 megs there really is NO difference. I know it is faster than my
friends Perfoma 550  with 5 megs.
