Hi Tom, in the application that I intend to use, the most "user perceptible" part is this index creating. So this is as good a test as any. What I would like is an easyer to use or a universally accepted program. I am willing to make a speciffic test to exactly discover what is specifically

Hi all, Thanks for all the feedback. I spent all day making tests, the data is very confusing, I will make more tests and some kind of report on friday. Just a few points: emm386 is not responsible for most of the slow-down, most of the time umbpci behaves the same (?) and different combinati

I just made some tests with UDMA2 and had some unexpected results: Why is FreeDOS so much slower (60% no UDMA, 14% with UDMA)??? Is this consistent with other experiments? Please, I would like to here comments on this ;-) UDMA 7.0 and UDMA2 2.5 had the same performance. On instalation it says m
