Which Windows version you have? In my system (W2K) there was no need for 
winmm.lib.

You get what you pay for: Inprise compiler does not produce so good 
code, as MS, Intel or gcc. Did you compiled optimized version of it? By 
default makefile has debug compiler flags (without any optimization) in 
order to make debugging easier. Although to me it seems, that these 
optimizing flags do nothing, it will produce code, which has same speed :-(
