Just guessing, but I'd say screen access is the culprit.
Windows only updates a windowed DOS screen whenever it
feels like it. In full screen mode DOS is forcing a screen
update (+scrolling in this case) every time you write to it.

Try this:


--***UNTESTED***
for x=1 to 100000 do
    if (x/1000)=floor(x/1000) then
        position(1,1)
        ?x
    end if
end for

Havn't tried it myself, but I think reducing
the display overhead will make a diference.
