Did WB 3.5 have a Workbench prefs editor in the Preferences folder? You may want to have a look there. There are some options about how to render icons. Maybe moving the icons to fast memory will help. Generally speaking, my 3.9 system is dog-slow without EXEC being in fast memory as well. If you have an MMU or certain makes of accelerator, you can relocate exec into fast. The default is chip memory which is really slow memory because it's shared with all custom chips.

Hope this helps!

Good stuff! I always thought 3.9 was just 3.5 with more third-party additions. I thought suggesting about SIMPLEGELS but when I looked that up it said it changed how icons behaved when clicked or dragged around. I got the improved Peter K icon.library in 3.9 Boing Bag 2, so I'm happy to see that you can use it in 3.5 as a stand-alone enhancement.
