On a 25 MHz 386, the update rate is good unless too many objects are on the
screen at once, such as near the base.

Just hit the Enter key a few times.

Perhaps if you only fly single helicopter missions, this is true, but
when you have to pick helicopters and weapons for five people, this stage
is pretty important.  I've found that the Apache is a poor choice when
commanding a five helicopter unit.  Also, the less capable the helicopter
you fly, the more points you get for accomplishing your mission.
