You don't have an FPU do you?  This might be part of the reason why.  The
other might be some kind of font thing.  Programs that use a lot of fonts
tend to load the machine heavily and slow things down quite a bit (Mosaic
does this).

As for how to fix this....well, I'm not sure there is a fix other than
upgrading to a faster machine. :-(

Later.
