TCP/IP vs Pipes Win98 Performance (OpenInsight 16-Bit)

I run my dev environment on an NT box and have a copy of it on a 98 workstation for testing as that is what my client runs. On NT the new 4.1 engine defaults to named pipes. This works fine. Win98 does not support named pipes according to the MSDN site. When I run on the 98 box it is MUCH slower to start the app and to load a form in the FormDesigner or load records in the Editor. When I do the same tasks using the 4.0 engine on 98 it's no problem.
Looking at the engineinfo the 4.0 uses some sort of named pipe even on 98?
How do I get the 4.1 engine to use pipes on 98 (is it possible)? Or, is there some way to configure TCP/IP and the 4.1 engine to perform better. No network pack since this is all local to a single box.
