You definitely have something wrong. I run Oracle on Solaris, HP-UX and NT and I'm very pleased with the performance of the Oracle 7.3 Workgroup on NT4. Some things to watch out for: swapspace, setting of server options to either 'mimimize memory used' or 'balanced' (ctrl-panel, network,services,server). And of course the init.ora file.
