I also run under Windows 2000.  I hadn't noticed it, but you're absolutely 
right - task manager is indicating very heavy use of CPU by ntvdm.exe.  At 
the same time, there must be some sort of priority setting, since I'm able 
to use Papyrus with other applications (including e-mail and word 
processing) without particularly noticing what was going on under the hood.
But I do echo your wishes about the Windows version - if for no other 
reason than being able to read long file names!
Cheers
