In fact DOS=HIGH also makes it slow too, but only around

is the UMB slowdown, and Alain tells that
things get VERY slow with DOS=UMB. So if MS DOS avoids that,
it would be interesting to know. Or maybe using MS EMM386
or MS HIMEM or MS whatever is the point here? I do not think
that the kernel causes UMB slowdown - looking at our kernel
design, I think
here, and remember that the main
problem is some much bigger slowdown with UMBs in use. I still
have no information from Alain whether this is about the mere
presence of EMM386 (and whether it depends on WHICH EMM386 you
use, e.g. DR, MS or FD one) or whether it depends on WHICH drivers
actually used
