Can't answer all your questions but 2kPro was pretty slow on my P2-266 with PC66-320MB RAM and DMA33 hard drive. Some hardwares were not supported or not running at all even they claimed they should (parallel scanner, printer and Zip100). I just went back to 89SE on that machine. However, 2k is a lot more stable than 95 or 98SE.
