I've been using it for a while as well, and I'm quite interested in that
observation, as it's directly opposite the behaviour I normally see, which
is that the win95 version is a bit faster than the linux version. 0.109
on win95 compared to 0.115-0.117 under Linux.
FWIW, I start it with
(cd /DOSd/mprime; nohup ./mprime -d >>mprime.run &)
so I get a running report in /DOSd/mprime/mprime.run
the nohup is just because I'm paranoid, it's probably not useful at all:)
