ESS very slow on Win98

Dear ESS users/developers;
I have a Pentium III 128MB 700MHz Win98 notebook.
I run R on it, and prefer to run under emacs and ESS.
But some processes take an inordinate amount of time.
Particularly vexing is the time required for dynamic completion.
Starting R in a clean directory (i.e. no ./.RData), typing a single
character at the prompt, then pressing C-c TAB or TAB hangs things for
about 45 seconds. A subsequent dynamic completion requires about 10
seconds.
Now I know that building the object name database will speed things up,
but this is just one example of the relative slowness of ESS on this
platform compared to my 2+ year old Ultra 10. Other operations
(ess-load-file) are likewise slow.
FWIW, compiling the lisp files has no perceivable effect.
Advice appreciated.
