From what I understand, the Windows API makes it difficult to playback double-buffered animations. Indeed, I do recall Toolbook had some sort of "double-buffering" scheme. It could be that they are running the animation through system RAM as opposed to playing the animation directly to the VGA display. Thus the slow down in performance. Something like that.
