OS/2 Warp was extremely slow to boot on my 486DX2-66 (16MB RAM if I remember correctly). It was our family's first computer and the joke was we could turn the computer on, make a cup of tea and do a bunch of chores before it was ready to use. Hardly any software (not to mention games!) was available for OS/2. We only used Lotus natively. The fact you could run Windows 3.11 from within OS/2 saved it from being discarded earlier. I set up dual boot into Windows 3.11 and it loaded an order of magnitude faster. OS/2 was perhaps technically architected better, but for real-world home use: useless.
