Why are my php apps slow in my Win98SE server than other website's?

PHP is designed mainly for Unix and Windows NT servers. Windows 98 is 
somewhat unsuitable for running PHP, and it's likely that code running 
on that OS is having to call slow native functions in Windows that are 
bogging down the scripts. Most sites running PHP are using Unix and NT, 
which PHP is optimized for, so that's why their sites are faster than 
non-optimized Win98.
