Hi!

Sorry, if it is offtopic here.

I run Linux 2.0.33 and recently tried to run DJGPP in
dosemu. All I/O is VERY SLOW. It includes compilation, compiled
programs etc. For example, when typing commands in bash, timeout
between pressing a key and appearing of the character on console
in near 1/3-1/2 sec. Vim startup (parsing startup files) takes
 ~1 min. 

Non-DJGPP DPMI programs work fine.
 
I understand that it is some type of uncompatibility between dosemu 
and DJGPP (in pure DOS all works fine), but I did not find any 
solution (or even statement 'it does work this way') in docs/FAQs.

Does anybody know how can I speed the things up?
And is it possible?

Unfortunately, cross compiling does not help much, because I have to
debug the program also.

Good luck!

S.A.
