Five minutes lost in 120 represents a loss of one second in 24, or 2.5 
seconds per minute.  I don't seem to see that here running on a WinXP host 
platform:

(I've entered the RUN command every 60 seconds, as measured by a stopwatch 
initially synchronized with the Access time-of-day clock during startup.)

On what host platform are you encountering this issue?
