- Gotta disagree with you here. I'm running a bunch of stuff seamless on a
- 386/25 with a crappy Trident 8800 video chip (albeit in VGA mode) and it's
- no slower on my system than win3.1 was. (I'm running the old 2.0.1 beta).
-
- It doesn't seem to make any difference what I'm doing in the background.
- I was recently running Mathematica, JOVE, GNU Emacs, and PCPlus for Windows
- in the background while using Quicken in the foreground--both seamless.
- It sure worked better than under windows and the screen redraws weren't
- particularly slow either.
