I really don't understand that second line. :((
There is some random factor at work I think.

Run chkdsk on the '386 ramdisk to see what size it is please.
Could I see the config.sys and autoexec.bat associated with it ?

It can't just be the clock speed. I just ran speedchk on my Vesa
Local Bus 486dx33MHz ramdisk using IBM PCDOS 3.3 and got 6 and 6 -
twice as fast as your 386dx33.
Then I ran it on my 386dx20 ramdisk and got: 22 and 22 :((

It seems all we can be certain of is that PCDOS 3.3 is fast.
