The HX-DOS build is compiled with the "old" MinGW (or mingw32) project, which will work in pure DOS. The MinGW Windows builds are compiled with the "new" MinGW-w64 project, including 32-bit and 64-bit components of MinGW-w64. The MinGW Windows builds of DOSBox-X 0.83.20 should run as similar speeds as the MinGW Windows builds of DOSBox-X 0.83.19. The main differences are that the 32-bit MinGW Windows builds now support the Slirp backend for the NE2000 networking, while no longer supporting Windows XP (which is unfortunately no longer supported by recent versions of MinGW-w64).
