I don't.

I ran w95 on a 386dx/40 with cache 16mb ram and a 1.2gig partitioned as
a pair of disks just last week and a backup for a croaked pentium board.
It was slow but not hours. It was also running office97 as that was on
the drive too. A 486DX2/50 was much better.

I did however do some major tuning tricks on the cmos and things like
windows swap drive. Some of those old boards if you take the cmos defaults
you get a very pokey system often 1/3 the performance or worse.
