I can say through personal experience that I seemed to have much less
trouble with Win98 on Win4Lin.  I honestly didn't use it a whol lot, but it
definitely seemed snappier - and as stated, the best part is the boot time -
very fast...

I'd say, if you have access to Win4Lin, or are willing to buy it, definitely
go for it.
