The default $_hogthreshold = (1) gives the slow behavior. Any higher value, even 2, is much faster. With (1) the operation takes 15 minutes; with (2) it takes at most 30 seconds.
With high values of hogthreshold, even idle dosemu sessions burn up all the CPU. That is not the case with (2). So maybe there was some change in the logic of how nice "nice" (aka 1) is? I still plan to try the older version, but I tried this first and thought it was worth reporting. The non-commented out values in dosemu.conf are $_cpu = "80586" $_rdtsc = (on) # $_hogthreshold = (1) # enabled and modified for testing $_hdimage = "lite" $_floppy_a = "threeinch:/dev/fd0" $_dosmem = (700) $_xms = (1024) $_ems = (1024) $_dpmi = (1024) $_speaker = "native" $_sound = (off) $_sb_mixer = "/dev/mixer" $_X_winsize = "800,600" $_chipset = "matrox" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
