- Actually, it's OS/2 I believe./ I have a 486/33 with 256K ram cache, 24
- Meg RAM. That's one step away from the fastest machines around almost. I
- have got my DOS scrolling speeds in windows down to an acceptable level but
- my OS/2 scrolling is still 10 times slower [I mean _10_ times slower here.
- 4 seconds for DOS window, 41 for OS/2 to scroll 128 lines of text (0.78 in
- a full screen)]
-
- I am using 800x600x256 and all fonts are 8 wide (same font for OS/2 and
- DOS windows). In DOS I turned off the EMULATION of VIDEO functions but OS/2
- doesn't have such a setting.
