200 lines/second?  That's terribly slow for a 133-MHz machine.  I'd 
expect about 800.

I doubt if you could get a much faster compilation, unless the Windows 
setup is somehow misconfigured.

Get csdpmi5b.zip from the v2misc directory on any DJGPP site.

As I told, I don't understand why do you see such a slow speed.  It 
should be much higher.
