1) I run RHIDE in the same configuration here at work and it doesn't
take 100% of the CPU, is just the stupid W95 monitor.
2) Try RHIDE 1.4.5, I added a __dpmi_yield call in the idle loop.
Paradogically it makes the IDE hang in some W95 installations. Eli
found a fix for it but isn't applied yet.

Personally I think you don't need to bother with it. I think W95 just
gives the CPU to the DOS program ONLY if there is no things to do and
hence you see 100%.
I added it because an OS/2 user reported sensible slow downs when
using RHIDE, __dpmi_yield solved it.
