You did point something out here that gave me an idea. I tried using 
device=emm386.exe ram in the config.nt file, only to find out that under 
Win2k I need to use EMM = RAM instead. :)

I did a mem /c before and after and didn't notice a change.

Right now I have the main BBS thread starting on high priority at boot-up, 
and that helps quite a bit. You're using Renegade? I believe that's what I 
saw in your origin line... Have you tried something similar like that 
ever?
