Reliably Send an HTTP Request as a User Leaves a Page

Just for experimental purpose, you can try disabling all UI animation to make ui interactions instant [1], and perhaps disable ALL antivirus and their filesystem filter drivers as they make all disk access slower [2] (including windows defender, you can re-enable it again after you're finished messing around). See if those tweaks can actually make your computer as fast as the old machines.

The old machines had similar 'speed tweaks'. For example I ran my Windows 95 from a big ramdisk and it was blazing fast.

I did something similar a while ago by explicitly adding a call to disable all theming in an app. That way you can even make the window decorations look like old Win9x borders in Windows 10. Disabling theming makes window creation measurably faster, by a lot. That includes lack of animations for that specific app, of course.
