I'm on Win95, but that's not the issue. (The 16-bit TS software is
still a CPU hog when it's running something, even on W95. Which is a
colossal pain in the rear when, for example, it locks up my system
for 5-6 minutes when I start TS and it loads up 4-5 big workspaces.)

I've done hundreds of optimizations, and I've never seen this
behavior before. Optimization runs normally run at virtually the
same speed as normal non-opt runs. But this case I ran up against
was 50-100 times slower! I guarantee you that's not from the
optimization overhead.
