Mercury,
It looks like your idea in terms of a benefit of a 32 bit FreeDOS is this:
> FreeDOS would suddenly be the most blazing fast DOS ever conceived.
Fair ?
Why do you think that pure 32 bit will be significantly faster than the current
model of 16 bit plus DPMI ? (I suppose there is some buffer copy that takes
place in a DOS extender for each INT 21 call ? Is that all we are trying to
get rid of ? )
Why do you think yourself and other users need a faster DOS? Are there tasks
you're doing now that are very slow ?
Personally new hardware is so fast compared to what we had in the 1990s that I
don't see a benefit for most users on any increases in speed, I'm curious to
hear your experience.
Are there other benefits you see to the 32 bit DOS?
Thanks,
Dave
