I don't have the hardware around to run the benchmarks, but I know
enough technical stuff to help out. My guess is that performance on
NT and on Win95 will be about dead on for the same hardware platform.
The stuff that NT slows down has more to do with I/O, Windows calls
and 16 bit Windows code. None of this stuff should be happening very
much in the inner loop of 32 bit Lightwave's rendering code.
