wily -
I had exactly the same experience when going from Win95 OSR2 to Win98 - and repeated the degradation in performance on 3 different machines, 2 desktops and a laptop. All of these had at least 64MB RAM and one had 128MB. All were 200MHz or better processors and had good graphics cards - an ATI in one, Matrox Millennium in the others.

The symptoms I saw included very slow window refresh, very slow background graphics refresh, windows which took 10 seconds to close when minimized, slow program load times, and poor network performance. I took steps to disable IE4 but that did not improve matters substantially.

Rather than spend a lot more time on performance tuning I gave up after about 8 hours and reloaded Win95.
