As usual, I should've done more digging before I posted. Through a
bit of experimentation, I discoverd the solution: my particular
graphics adapter (ATI WinTurbo w/2 MB VRam), when set to 800x600
with "16.7 million colors", was (it seems) causing the problem with
slow preview playback as well as other things, like windows not being
redrawn properly and slow feedback from some keyboard controls.
When set to "true color", via WinNT's Display program, all the
strange behavior disappeared and previews now do 30 fps reliably.

I guess PC diagnostics entails looking at ALL the different components
of your system for the problem's cause.
Even the mouse pad, no doubt. :)
