I dunno because I don't do Windows myself, but I often read those comments
from Windows users and that's what they were reporting. You could maybe try
to search the NewtonTalk archive for 'slowdown'. I'm sure you'll find plenty
of messages.

brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the
programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his or
her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of
scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large
ones. The term can also be used in reference to programming style:
brute-force programs are written in a heavyhanded, tedious way, full of
repetition and devoid of any elegance or useful abstraction (see also brute
force and ignorance).
