Slow tools

I just made my computer drastically faster! I put in an extra 16M of memory,
bringing it up to 24. Everything is faster - except the SDK tools. goc,
pmake, swat, you name it.

For some reason, they sit and do nothing for about a half a minute before
starting up. They worked fine before the upgrade. They still work as they
did before under OS/2 (i.e., everything but swat) But under DOS they're
slugs.

Any ideas?

Things that have changed since yesterday:

24M of memory, up from 8M
4M of disk cache (norton ncache2) up from 1M
I seem to have lost about 10K of conventional memory.
