- Hello everyone
- As someone was asking about what version works better, I have run
- SpeedoMeter and did several tasks in both systems. These are the results of
- SpeedoMeter and then my opinions.

- My Opinnion:
- There is no winner in this match, both versions are very close. The only
- thing I think it's much better under Linux than DOS is the Filesystem support.
- Hard disk flies under Executor Linux, and you notice that the 1st time you
- startup executor-svga. And the CD-Rom is much faster too. I have run several
- apps from CD in Linux. Under MS-DOS I cant do that. In general MS-DOS access
- to all disk drivers is much slower that Linux.
-
- Another thing i have noticed is that Executor respond faster to events under
- Linux. Playing some arcade games like swoop or Maelstrom you think that MS-DOS
- version is poor than Linux one.
-
- If I had to choose one, I think I will take Linux, but as I dont have to, I
- choose both!
