Ok, I'm guessing I got the right cmd client for both pc's, though I'm not
rel sure since there was a few different i386-winnt version 3.08 available.
I checked the HP's resources, and I'm only using between 5% and 7% at any
given time, and I've done my best to pair down all the junk that loads on
system startup, though I do have a screen reader that I need that might be
affecting things I'd imagine. My video drivers are up to date, but my
graphics card is an integrated card, if that matters.

First, dump the GUI version of the client.  Using the CLI version will
improve both machine times dramatically.  Your results indicate that the

HP

either has a hidious video subsystem that isn't taking any of the video
processing off the CPU or that something else is running in background.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video on that machine and

use

the Task Manager's (Ctrl-Shift-Esc) processes tab to see what's consuming
your CPU cycles.
