- Hehe, no, I have only experiences with Win3.11 and this was fast.

- I have a _very_ customized startup-sequence, use DefDisk for assigns,
- assign a lot with DEFER, actually my startup-sequence is highly optimized
- and split into two parts, additionally there is a user-startup. I use some
- Starter-Menu tool, which needs this.

- I never understood the AssignPrefs thing really, and was too lazy to get
- into it. I use a WBStartup+ similare tool, called AutoStart. The problem is
- not, that my WB is blocked during boot, but that it takes 40-50 seconds to
- get so far and then I hate this
- "drrrrr......rattatttatttatt.....dddddddrrrrrr.....ssssssssttt....ratat"
- I do start two extensive Toolmanager docks with sub docks (no brushes, I
- use icons), I launch an address-server, approx. 20 Commodities, MCP and so
- on are already launched in the s-sequence. A big problem is my ENVARC:
- which I can't keep on HD since I use a tool, that sets $TIME every second
- ;-). I have tried to cleanup my ENVARC: but its not that easy, I use a lot
- of apps, and most do save their prefs in ENVARC: A thing, that could be
- prevented very often. So MUI for example wouldn't need to have all in
- ENV:MUI. This stinks. Also I never understood why some def_icons of
- programs are kept in ENV: s: would do it also.
