Hello.
Thanks for all the good hints. I am trying to comment them all at once: First of all: The comparison was running Xfree, icewm, nedit and an own application completely under cygwin on the same machine - not outgoing connections. That is exactly my problem: I want to avoid using two computers for my project. Second: Good hint is network listening: my own application (you can find a very early stage on http://www.brunsteinobs.de.vu/ under the XCCD section) uses TCP/IP socket communication to cummunicate with a rabbit core module. While XCCD is running under LinuX (or cygwin), the rabbit programming environtment needs Windows. Third: both systems were compared just ruuning Xfee, icewm and nedit under cygwin without extra IP stuff running. Opening the IP port does not even change anything. Forth: My Win98 machine has DirectX 8.1 which seems to be the latest version available from M$. So I guess it is the difference between NT optimization and Win9x.
