You seem to contradict yourself somewhat there.  

Yes, screen drawing in the NT ports, at least under Win95, is slower than
its DOS and OS/2 counterparts.  This is mostly due to the slowness of the
Win95 console subsystem :-(, and partly due to lack of much optimisation on
my part.  I may optimise the screen routines (especially those in WIN.C,
the main bottleneck) further, if I have time.
