- ========================
- COMBoostTime=<milliseconds>
-
- Default: 2
- Purpose: Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) to allow a virtual
- machine to process a COM interrupt. If a communications
- application is losing keyboard characters on the display, you
- can try increasing this value.
- To change: Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file.
- =============================================
-
- It doesn't 'speed up' anything but it will 'decrease data loss errors' under
- certain circumstances. 20-30 is a reasonable setting for most people.
