I have some experience wiht Miktex, wich is the LateX distro I use. You
can ask me
for specific questions, perhaps I can help you. Please, indicate Miktex
version.
Regarding speed, I work with Windows NT 4.0 and have the same problem,
but I'm
working with tex output files of 1,5 Mb or more. Well, I like coffe so
it's not so bad :-)
If you use "texifiy" it will run three or more time to resolve
references, and this can
take quite a long time. For testing and proofread I use "pdflatex"
directly at the cost
of getting blanks in the places of references.
