Hello.

Stas, can you give some common hints to improve performance of such DPMI programs as MSM? It works quite slow (taking all CPU power).

Just recalled something: when I upgraded to kernel 2.4 from 2.2, I noticed a DPMI speed-up of 20 times!
IIRC you are still using 2.2. Then yes, I've got the idea. Just upgrade to 2.4 and you'll see an unbeleavable speed-up of your DPMI progs.

On 2.4.19 it stills the same. MSM takes 99% of CPU even without any user activity. And then draws it's screens _very_ slowly.

Does this application access the CD-ROM or any other unit?
