- Yes. We've fixed "the" slowdown internally and 1.99q7 runs noticeably
- faster. I put "the" in quotes because I'm assuming that the slowdown
- you're seeing is due to the bug we fixed, but we won't know for sure
- until you get a chance to try 1.99q7.

- It may be your kernel. Lets see what happens when we get 1.99q7 out.

- So far I don't think we need it. 1.99q7 should be out "soon". Mat
- and I are still hacking DOS floppy/cd-rom/mac-disk bugs. Hopefully
- we'll be done today and roll 1.99q7 tomorrow, although my track record
- for predicting bleeding edge release dates (or any dates, for that
- matter) is pretty bad.
