Speeding up Spaceward Ho! 3.0.1?



I've lately got back into playing one of my favorite Mac games, Spacward 
Ho!.  However, although I find it works generally quite well under 
Executor (even plays sounds!), there is one somewhat annoying thing that 
the game does: when selecting menus, sometimes it takes a LONG time for 
the menu to appear.  Also, moving the mouse around the playing field, 
selecting planets and moving ships, etc. can get sluggish.  All other 
programs (e.g. Microsoft Word, Solarian, etc.) work fine; Spacward is the 
only program that exhibits this weirdness.

Anyone know how to alleviate this, or is it not solvable (and I have to 
live with it)?

FYI, I'm running E/DOS 1.99q5, on a Windows 95 machine booted into a 
straight DOS prompt, with no TSR's or drivers loaded except my Logitech 
busmouse driver, Smartdrive, and UNIVBE.

Please let me know by email and/or to the list.  Thanks!
