You should open the portfolio window in the server (F2 key). This will drop
CPU time considerably.

Win95 should be able to use 128MB of RAM.

You can find some good tech info from here:

	Subject:	TS & RAM under 95/98

	I've been struggling for some time w/ TS 4.0 & it's propensity to
hog
	CPU cycles. It's especially difficult for me when I try & open
another
	program. Everything runs slower. Although this isn't news to me
(been
	using TS for nearly 4 yrs) I'm in a position to do something about
it.

	Currently, I'm running a AMD 300 K6-2 w/ the 100Mhz bus & 64Mb of
15ns
	RAM. I'm under the impression that to actually use 128Mb of RAM I'd
need
	to upgrade to Win 98 from my 95. However, my tech says that isn't
	necessary since I'm already running OS2 4.04.72.3110.8

	He says I already get the memory management & FAT32 benefits of
Win98
	w/out its bugs. Furthermore, he says I might have conflicts getting
	various PCI devices to work properly, not to mention maybe needing
to
	reinstall some apps that are specific to 95 or 98.

	All I really want to do is speed up TS, especially while other apps
are
	occassionally open. Is it true I can install another 64Mb of RAM &
it'll
	be "seen" w/out having to upgrade to 98?
