You can also use the suspend mode to make restarting quicker, but if they
are anything like the CF-01 the battery doesn't last very long...

As a reference, my Stylistics 1000 takes a few minutes to boot into Suse
2.4
on a 100MHz processor and 40MB RAM.  I've not used it with Win95, but I'd
expect it to be slightly quicker.  Should boot in under a minute with a bit
of hacking.
