DOS ain't dead - CWSDPMI r5 vs. r7 (paq8o8z)

CWSDPMI r5 vs. r7 (paq8o8z) (Announce)

posted by Laaca , Czech republic, 19.11.2010, 11:10

In last few months I more work on machine with 512MB RAM and FreeDOS installed and I have to confirm the lost of performance in Freepascal IDE after few compilation. (after few compilations is another compilation very slow and hard disk is still accessed).
Firstly I thought that problem is in my disk cache but it helped when I swithed from cwsdpmi r5 into cwsdpmi r7.
(however best speed is with some nonswapping DPMI server - but it can't be generaly recomended at all - some swapping is sometimes necessary)

So - I vote for switching into cwsdpmi r7 in official distributions.
