I'm running the same hardware as you are (6x86-P166+, 32Mb EDO ram, Cirrus
Logic 5430 with 2mb ram, 17" KTX monitor) and have found that warp4 is
rather snappy and fast. I had to get used to it's setup/features at first
(i've had warp4 since it was released in aust.) and now rather like them.

I don't have any harddrive thrashing like you say you'r getting, and I find
that win95 and warp4 four perform about the same, but warp4 is just a
little bit faster/snapier than puke95...

I've only changed a few settings in my config.sys file (included here for a
look'se. note: the [this line warpped] is added by me in this message, and
is'nt in the config.sys file on my harddrive)
