After I got braodband I downloaded all the windows updated for Win98 SE. My
whole pc is now much slower. I was expecting to complete this unit in about
80 hours.

I am now 93% done after a huge 151 hours!
I suppose I now have windows bloat and a longer than usual workunit to
process.

On a Pentium 200, a workunit will take about 2 days with the cli version.
Workunits with a low angle range are an exception, they might take more than 3 days with Windows 98.
The screensaver version takes a little more than 2 days when running minimized, it doesn't have the low angle range problem.
The cli version doesn't have this problem either with Windows NT versions and Linux.
