I can agree with faster, and more efficient because they dont DO as much.
For example, there are some minor features that are handy in a rush, like
the short cut for a line rule. Under Word (7 and higher I think) I can type
'---' on a blank line and it will automagically expand into a ruled line.
Under something like Describe, I would have to start clicking on the pretty
little icons to insert one.
There are lots of little features like this, that I can live without, but are
nice to have anyway.

Win3.x does not run ANY Win32 applications AT ALL. Win3.x runs Win32s apps,
which is an extension.
The difference between Win32 and Win32s is a few thousand API calls.
