Frame Rate & Windows

In some files (gpperf.txt, gplap.txt) is mentioned that it is possible to run GP under Windows. I have a 386 DX/40 and have the frame rate set to 20.0 and cpu-occupancy is below 100% if launched from DOS. All works well. First problem: When I start GP within Windows, the cpu-occupancy raise to above 300%, as soon as sound begins. (I have a Soundblaster 8 bit). Switching off the sound the occupancy is as it is under DOS. What's wrong? Second problem: Currently I have a Pentium P66 on my desk. 16MB, PCI, Graphic 2MB VRAM ... a high end machine, one could think. I start GP within DOS but to hold occupancy below 100% frame rate has to be set to 15.7 !! Amazingly pushing 't' for texture hasn't any effect to occupancy. What's wrong? Thanks for help --
