Windows assumes that when you minimize an application, you won't need
it for a while, so it pages the application out. Perhaps this explains
the slow down?

I too have a laptop (a table PC) with 1GB of RAM and no page file. I
do notice that DrScheme uses comparative more memory than other
environments I use (Visual Studio, Eclipse). It also interacts oddly
with the tablet OS. Often (less often in later versions than the 29x
version), I have to use the Task Manager to kill DrScheme. DrScheme
doesn't release its memory and even prevents a shutdown or a logoff
when it is in this state.
