I'd suspect amount of RAM available on that 1.5G AMD.

Awhile back I did some experiments with ramcount by removing the existing 2G (on the AMD XP machine) and discovered that things got really slow in BiaB when the ram got down to 512...

Lots of disk swapping gets forced.

BTW I came to the conclusion that the difference between 1G and 2G of ram on this particular system was slight indeed when using BiaB. But 512 was crippling as to loading times, etc.
