Lines: 11 Hi, I made some benchmarks with the VP/ix Dos emulation under 386/ix ver.2.02. The interesting thing was that running it under VP/ix was about 5 times slower than running it under pure DOS. The benchmark does nothing else than sorting a a matrix on on of the columns. This should only be memory access. Are there any explanations for this big difference ? I didn't think that it is so big.
