No, it's really faster, IMO because EMM386 3.27 doesn't create nor uses a swap file
for DPMI...

There are still 2 documented problems:
 - Ctrl-Break crashes or cold-restarts
 - if you swap tasks with a VESA 2 (not 1) & DPMI ON one running, the
   computer may enter in an infinite meditation...

Otherwise it's wonderfuly stable with all tasks DPMI ON
(everything 16 or 32 bit run concurrently) and a bit less
when you switch off DPMI on some tasks (-> CWSDPMI, non concurrent).
