Are you sure that it's not running out of memory and paging in the
process? Does your hard drive work hard while cc1plus is thrashing
away? Does the Win95 System Monitor show any unusual pattern of CPU or
hard drive usage?

This seems to show that you have very little memory available. How much
RAM is installed on your computer, and how much free hard drive space do
you have? If I were to risk a guess, I'd say that the DPMI memory
setting of your MS-DOS box properties sheet is set to something like
"Auto", meaning that Win95 does not give DOS programs as much memory as
they need. Try setting the value manually to 65535 Kb and see if that
works.
