I've been running the new exw.exe mainly on Win98
and haven't had any problems like that.

There are a couple of situations where exw might
deliberately delay. One is where you haven't installed
things correctly and you bind a program. The bound
program might issue a message about "one moment please..."
and delay for several seconds. In the second
situation, the PD exw might delay if you alter a stamped
include file. You'll get a delay plus an error message
telling you to delete the "with xxxxx" statement.

On my 350 MHz machine, I don't notice any difference
in start-up time between the compressed exw and
the uncompressed.

Simply copying or deleting exw.exe can't cause a delay
unless there is something really weird happening on your
system. exw.exe is just a file like any other.
(Is a virus scanner trying to inspect the file?).
