I'm just guessing here, but I noticed that when I run the JED editor
(compiled with DJGPP) under Win95, everything else slows to a crawl. This
didn't happen under Win3.1, my guess is that the DPMI functionality in
Win95 stinks.
I'm no DPMI guru, but the performance hit (not only on JED, but on all
other Windows apps too) is so noticeable that I can't help forming this
conclusion.
