It was said already that the sequencer eats system resources.
If it's this bad, you're perhaps running a New Improved Win95!
sequencer (like Cakewalk 5). These usually start a thread 
(roughly a subprogram) set to "realtime mode", which means that 
Windows will attend to its every whim before even looking at 
lesser (non-realtime) programs.

Try some older MIDI program. It's really not a heavy-weight
application, since events are relatively speaking not sent 
out very often.

Haven't tried Maldonado's version, but Winsound 3.46 chopped terribly 
for me last time I tried, even for a single oscil (and no midi).
