This is a bit of a problem between DOSEMU and FD Edit: edit reads the file in 512-byte chunks and for every 512 bytes it checks the keyboard and the mouse (the handhake() call in message.c). DOSEMU thinks that Edit is actually polling the mouse or keyboard and decides to sleep a bit. I think I can solve this on the DOSEMU side though but it will take some more finetuning. For now you can reduce the 25 seconds by setting $_hogthreshold to 0 or a higher value, or at runtime using "speed". example c:\>speed 0 c:\>edit foo.txt (comes up instantly but DOSEMU will use 100% CPU -- on my laptop the fan will start spinning) c:\>speed 5 c:\>edit foo.txt (slower, but quicker than the default) the default is "1": slowest but nicest for the CPU.
