Don't remove random elements! Use a profiler! That's what they're for: determining where the bottlenecks in your application are, where your code spends the most time.

profilers cost money :/ or can you suggest a good free one?ok, one could build something like a profiler into his program and just write
time used to execute function xyz : ....ms into a file but that would suck ..

If it were me writing the code, I'ld create a display list for drawing the quads:

unsigned int QuadDisplayListID;

void CreateQuadDisplayList(void)
{
 // Gennerate a display list 'QuadDisplayListID'
 QuadDisplayListID = glGenLists(1);

 // Fill the display list with commands
 glNewList(QuadDisplayListID, GL_COMPILE);
   {
   glBegin(GL_QUADS);
     {
      glTexCoord2f(0.0f,0.0f); glVertex2i(0,0);
      glTexCoord2f(1.0f,0.0f); glVertex2i(64,0);
      glTexCoord2f(1.0f,1.0f); glVertex2i(64,64);
      glTexCoord2f(0.0f,1.0f); glVertex2i(0,64);
    }
   glEnd();
   }
 glEndList();
}

And I would change the drawing function to this:

void DrawQuad(unsigned int tex,int x,int y)
{
 glLoadIdentity();
 glTranslatef(x, y, 0.0f);
 glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex);
 glCallList(QuadDisplayListID);
}

That little change could speed up your program because it now makes fewer GL calls pr draw(4 instead of 14). Also no more stack pushes and pops(if not managed correctly you could be overflowing the stack); besides unless your doing compound joint type animation, its usually a waist to use the stack.

Just my 2cents though. Good Luck.

EDIT:

WOAH! I just noticed you load your textures every frame! Do that only at startup! This stuff goes before the message loop:
------------------------------------------------
Initialize();
glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
TEXTUREINFO[0] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Mario.bmp", &BIH[0]);
TEXTUREINFO[1] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Green Koopa.bmp", &BIH[1]);
TEXTUREINFO[2] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Ground.bmp", &BIH[2]);
TEXTUREINFO[3] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Box.bmp", &BIH[3]);
TEXTUREINFO[4] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Pipe.bmp", &BIH[4]);
TEXTUREINFO[5] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Time.bmp", &BIH[5]);
TEXTUREINFO[6] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\MBox.bmp", &BIH[6]);
TEXTUREINFO[7] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\BSky.bmp", &BIH[7]);
TEXTUREINFO[8] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Cloud.bmp", &BIH[8]);
TEXTUREINFO[9] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Sign.bmp", &BIH[9]);
TEXTUREINFO[10] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\MMario.bmp", &BIH[10]);
TEXTUREINFO[11] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Mario2.bmp", &BIH[11]);
TEXTUREINFO[12] = LoadBitmapFile("Data\\Pics\\Green Koopa2.bmp", &BIH[12]);

for(int i=0;i<=MAXTEXTURES;i++)
{
glGenTextures(1,&TEXTURE);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,TEXTURE);

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);

glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, BIH.biWidth, BIH.biHeight,0,GL_RGB,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, TEXTUREINFO);
}
------------------------------------------------


This stuff goes right before this '/* shutdown OpenGL */' but outside of the message loop:
------------------------------------------------
Free();
------------------------------------------------

... Is it because of a lack of time based movement, or bad coding? My progs start out at normal speed (usually) but than the speed half's ... than half's again, and so on till it freezes

The way that you describe it looks like a memory leak...

I strongly agree with that hypothesis.
