Apparently, even with swap file pointing to RAM disk, when using > 512 MB of RAM (e.g. paq8o8z -7) it is like twice as slow (!) with r5 instead of r6. However, r6 might have compatibility issues with some (?) VCPI servers and DPMI 1.0 extensions (should your app rely on those). If you find any problems, report them to the author.
