- That's interesting.

- Video should be faster (if you've got UniVBE) because we can directly
- access the linear frame buffer under DOS. Still, I wouldn't think
- that the CPU number should slow down.
-
- Can you try:
-
- executor -nosound -oldtimer
-
- and see how fast it is under Win95? Thanks!
