   Since I had not heard whether Thinkpads as a group are afflicted
   by this malady, I decided to use my machine as the sacrificial
   lamb.  Here are my observations...

My experience with Works is identical to yours -- there is no
significant effect on the performance of the system.  I'm glad to hear
that this is still true at 8MB since one theory had it that
small-memory machines were more prone to trouble.

   I did notice that the so called "Event Monitor" is started
   automatically upon startup of various utilities such as the PIM and
   calendar.

FYI: this can be disabled in the PIM configuration notebook.

   Also, I am not currently using WIN-OS/2, so if the problem is
   somehow related to Windows support, I would have been spared as a
   result.

I've been using Windows under Warp and it seems to have no effect.
