I mean, of course it's going to be fast, you're running it on a modern computer. Try my Pentium with 16 MB RAM, that thing would churn forever.

Windows NT "required" a minimum of 32 megabytes of memory back then. So that would definitely be a pretty bad experience

According to Wikipedia, that could go as high as 128 megs for "heavy 3D applications"
