I downloaded and installed CTWin 10.03.002 on the one of the same PC's I run 
Win-Test on and found the following:

Radio:  Ten Tec Orion I running v.2.062a firmware

 PC details:
 Intel P4 1.8 GHz
 224 MB RAM
 Windows XP Home, SP2

 - Radio control via COM1 (straight serial connection to radio)
 - In CTWin Communications Setup I set COM1, RADIO1 with Baud Rate of 57600

 Here's what I found:

 - Alt-J "TX Freqs" frequency readout responds nearly as instantaneous as 
CT/DOS
 and is much faster than WT 3.18 running on the same PC via the same COM
 port.
 - The response time of typing in a frequency in the callsign field is 
nearly
 instantaneous.  It is faster than WT 3.18.
 - CTWin's alt-F4 "toggle" also responds faster than WT 3.18's "return to 
run
 frequency" alt-F4.

CTWin's response times are more in line with CT/DOS than with WT 3.18.
