better use of large amounts of hardware. So it runs more slowly than
9x on small systems, but it runs faster than 9x on large systems.
This is my experience too. On smaller RAM size, 9x is faster due to lesser
amount of always-loaded OS components. On larger RAM size, NT family is faster
due to better cache management.
