Hm, but the "1 second load time" is also achieved if the FTE Win32 version runs in DOS under HX - and hence without any MS code involved. So that's a strong indication that the problem is indeed the OW DOS32 runtime, isn't it?

What has CWSDPMI to do with this issue? It isn't used by either OW or Win32.
