- This may be a FAQ, but here it goes:
-
- One of my DOS graphics programs (FastTrack) loads and
- runs extremely slowly in a DOS window in Win 3.1
- (Compaq 386/25, 9MB, 387, 110MB, VGA). I do not think
- it uses XMS or EMS, but it does a lot of disk I/O.
- What are the best tricks to try to speed it up,
- other than to buy a faster machine?
- I am already using Smartdrive 1/0.5 MB, nothing else is
- running, and have a foreground priority value set to 150/10.
