In Win95, 98 MS has slowed down the output to the console using the
conagent.dll. At least when the screen size is kept a the default of 25x80
characters. This is a known issue of the conagent.dll.
The only option to avoid this is to set the screen size to other values than
25x80 or to switch to NT which does not have these problems.
Cheers, Alex
