All Intel CPU's, (with the possible exception of the Pentium Pro) run substantially faster in real mode. When the added overhead of "multi-tasking" and a multi-user OS are added in, the DOS version should do even better in comparison. Every time I have considered using one of the many UNIX text-processing programs, I have concluded that it would be far quicker to write a custom program than to try to learn all of the obscure commands of the program.
