Which version had them? Is this for pre-existing versions or future? (Still never officially got 3.33 out the door. Oh well.)

Anyways, if the speedup isn't much, then it's probably not worth it, but you could always do a runtime check for FreeDOS (OEM id: FD) or DR-DOS (int 21h, 4452h aka "DR") and only enable it then. I mean, better than disabling it completely, or am I wrong? Either way is fine, though, I doubt I'd even notice the difference.
