90s apps used these Windows handle controls and it was not a performance problem. On computers 100 slower than today and with 1000 times less memory.
BTW, the current Windows Task Manager still shows the total HANDLE count on the CPU page.
They were not used in apps with complex UIs because native controls were hard to skin and didn't work very well when their size was very small (as complex UIs tend to need)
