Someone recently stated some performance figures regarding the
286, 386SX, and 386 processors, but unfortunately I missed it.  The
understanding I had was that the 386SX doesn't run DOS applications
as fast as an equivalent speed 286.  Is this right?  If so, how much
faster is the 286, and more importantly, *why* is it faster?
