Yes ... definitely ;)

But 'C' is the 2. fastest possibility.
And it is much easier ported.
Maybe the best solution would be a portable C Arachne with bits and peaces of
ASM Code for time critical parts.

You are right, that 16 Bit ASM code is fast.
BUT it doesn't help with the tight memory conditions with 16 bit DOS.
There would be no need for buggy overlays, and copying data from conventional
memory to XMS and vice versa.
All in all Arachne with ASM codeblocks would be great !
