Have you tried Warp 6?  I don't know if it will give you the same font
trouble I had (but as shown in my sig, works on this machine fine), but
it changes the APM applet, and adds 1.2 compatiblity, so that might help.

Also, if you'd like, I can send you an OS/2 VIO program that shows running processes,
because there could be a runaway process that's eating your CPU time.

Also, when you talked about adjusting the CPU's speed, is this in the BIOS?
