database-intensive actions are taken, typically reindexing, the CPU is used by some 1% and thus the operation runs VERY slow too. Computer is bored and user too :o( If somebody fixed these two issues (if I were programmer, I would), I'd very like it.
It is really more about tuning rather than fixing. And it is not easy to do because one have to have all the different test-cases around, and people do not always provide their progs for testing. You can control the speed with $_hogthreshold option of dosemu.conf at configure-time, or by a "speed" command at run-time. Dosemu is trying to do some guesses about a CPU usage itself, but right now it doesn't work very well. It is necessary for dosemu to at least calculate the percentage of CPU power it gives to a DOS task - right now it doesn't do even this. It was rumoured that the DOS program called "tame" does a great job at calibrating the CPU utilization of a DOS task under a multitasking system. You can try setting $_hogthreshold=(0) and use "tame". http://www.tamedos.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
