The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The screen display for WordPerfect 5.1 is slower when running under Windows 3.0. The speed applications run under Windows is dependent on many factors. The most important is the mode the customer uses, i.e., Real Mode, Standard Mode or 386 Enhanced Mode. The next factor is the amount of memory available; the more memory available, the faster the program runs. On a 286 or 386 if the user only has 2M of Extended memory the system will be very slow. If a customer has 4 to 8M, the programs will run faster. Windows does not slow down any Windows on purpose, but Windows is in graphics mode and it uses a lot of the computers power, leaving less available for other programs.

If you are using Microsoft Windows in 386 Enhanced Mode and are running DOS applications in a window, the display may also be very slow. The speed can be increased by adding the command WindowUpdateTime=20 to the SYSTEM.INI file. The lower the value, the faster the display will be (the default is 50). This information was taken from the SYSINI3.TXT file.
