It does slow down your code rather immensely, though, especially when
some functions get called a few million times each during my program's
boot.  :)

One thing struck my curiosity, though.  I understand why _dpmi_int() takes
up so much of the time, but what is this 'timesub' function that seems to
be eating over 50% of my runtime?  My program syncs to a 1/4 second
timer, and delays itself when necessary - does 'timesub' simply represent
that portion of the runtime when the program is idle?  It tends to skew the
percentages somewhat.
