Is there a particular reason why you have assigned 64MB to the
Win4Lin session? Under normal circumstances you should
use as small a number as possbile that allows your applications
to run normally. Giving more that sufficient to Windows
can slow things down because Windows will try to make use of
it, taking away the working set of pages from Linux by keeping
them uselessly active.
