Kevin,

> Under Win98, the 2.9a VM seems extremely slow!

If you are running in Morphic it would be helpful to see a MessageTally
output (in the world menu under <debug...> <start message tally>) while
you're working. I haven't noticed any apparent slowdowns so if you can,
please send me the output (privately).
