Any Windows 3.x is going to be *very* slow on an XT. There is (IMHO) a
tremendous difference between 3.0 and 3.1 not just the maintenance
release that the version number suggests. As to 3.1 running (walking
;-) on an XT most of them are ruled out because there is no support for
CGA, Hercules or MDA, I can't recall off the top of my head if it even
supported EGA but I think it did.
