I do not think you can draw this conclusion. It is well conceivable
that the Windows side could be holding up ArtWorks even if it is
always at the same module. For instance, imagine your Windows virus
checker checking every file that is accessed. It uses signatures to
detect known viruses. Any RISC OS file, e.g., the main module file of
the ArtWorks Group module, might just happen to contain a sequence of
bytes that triggers one of the signatures. Then, maybe the virus
checker stops the system from accessing that file while it analyses it
in depth, which might take some time.
