  It's probably not the PIF.  Leaving the pif settings at default will almost
work.  Just increase the priorities a little.  I found that the most
important setting is your Minimum Timeslice setting under 386 Enhanced.  You
need to set it to a value that works well for your setup (and everyone's
setup is different).  The higher the number, the faster everything will run,
but the choppier it will be.  The lower the number, the slower it will run,
but it will be a lot smoother.

  It's a simple tradeoff.  Try extremes (1, or 100) to see how it affects the
BBS, then try some different settings to see what you like.  (I found that
somewhere around 5 or 6 worked well on my 486DX-33).  A big Disk Cache will
really help you as well.  Also, lower the Background Priority of Windows
(under 386 Enhanced) to 1.  You don't need windows running in the background,
just the BBS.
