...and now I know why: I had set the number of virtual CPUs to 2 - when 
doing so, VMWare with Bluebottle occupies all available CPU resources on 
the Host machine - although the Inspector in Bluebottle reports an 
average of 1.8 percent. It works grate when using only one virtual CPU 
(Which is the default for Windows 98, I think...).
