Have you tried the suggestions in the GNU Emacs FAQ For Windows:

     <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq4.html#mouse>

FYI: The news group gnu.emacs.help and the mailing list
help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org is the same -- they're gatewayed.  So please
don't post the same question to both of them.

Also, don't multi-post the same question in both gnu.emacs.help and
comp.emacs.  It's fine to post to both, but please cross-post instead of
posting the question separately.

Yes, I use -nw occasionally, but I really do need the option to have
multiple emacs windows (not just multiple buffers or frames).

Thanks--turns out I've mostly answered my own question.  The crucial
place to go is 'Environment->Frames' under the customization buffer
(M-x customize).  Eliminating the tool bar has achieved most of the
speedup I need, with the additional bonus of freeing up some real
estate in the window.

I use these with emacs 20.7.1 under Win/2K:

(global-set-key [delete] 'delete-char)
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char)
(global-set-key "\C-?" 'delete-backward-char)
(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map "\C-?" 'delete-backward-char)

  When it shall really be possible to lead a person to a specific
  place, one first of all has to be careful to find where he is and
  start from there.

  This is the secret of the art of helping.  Anyone who is not able to
  do so is simply seducing himself into believing that he is able to
  help others.

  To really help another person I must understand more than him but
  first of all understand what he understands.

  When I don't do this my superior understanding does not help him at
  all.

  Yet when I start to impose my superior understanding, then it is
  because of my vanity and pride, in that I don't really want to help
  him but wish him to admire me instead.  But all true help begins
  with humility.

  The helper must first humble himself to the one he wishes to help
  and thereby understand that helping is not to rule but to serve.
  That helping is not being the most domineering but the most patient.
  That helping is willingness to tolerate, for the present, being
  wrong and not understanding what the other understands.

My objective is to move a symbol from one obarray to another.  The 
following routine seems to do that ok.

(defun move-symbol (sym-name from-obarray to-obarray)
   "Move symbol named SYM-NAME from FROM-OBARRAY to TO-OBARRAY"
   (let ((old-sym (intern-soft sym-name from-obarray))
           (new-sym (intern sym-name to-obarray)) )
     (set new-sym (symbol-value old-sym))
     (fset new-sym (symbol-function old-sym))
     (setplist new-sym (symbol-plist old-sym))
     (unintern sym-name from-obarray) ))

My question is, is there a more efficient way to do that, e.g. 
without creating a whole new symbol and destroying the old one?
