Quite true if you have Windows.  I have a little pet peave about people who
run way too many TSR's.  I have a friend with a 1 meg machine who runs
over 150K in TSR's thus leaving only about 480K free.  Then he wonders why
things don't run.  Also, I noticed that Wolf is a bit slower in Windows 3.1
than DOS when running on my 386/33 with 4 megs.
 
Also, It doesn't multitask well when switching between apps. 

Just my $.02.
