1) You can move the mouse around in circles while it's running.  This should
speed up the processing.  You can watch the stopwatch window to see the
speed change.

2) Go to www.myke.com and look under his PIC applications/utilities page.
There should be a utility called "SPEED.EXE" which simulates moving the
mouse around.  Run this just prior to starting the simulator and it will run
immensely faster.  Again, a before-after comparison using the stopwatch
window will show you the gain you're seeing.
