Someone reported that Linux MESS is very slow.  But from what you say, the 
Windows should be even slower!  Maybe it's just that Windows typically is run on 
newer, faster PCs, so folks don't notice.
 
Say, do you think that Cygwin package could get Linux UltiMusE running on 
Windoze?  I recall some excitement over Cygwin a while back, but it turns out to 
be  a bear to use, so someone said.  --Mike K.
