In our Tandon booth at Comdex, I was fortunate enough to be the "man"
for our new 486 systems.  We are located right next to Quarterdeck, makers
of DesqView.

Late Monday night, they came over to play with one of our machines, which
thanks to Toshiba's gift of 4MB SIMMS, had 40MB of memory (not a typo!)
in it.  The Q-deck guys wanted to see how fast it was, and had a great time.

I'm posting because we had a result no one could explain well.  We run
Landmark Speedbar at 117-118Mhz (good, I'm told).  When we ran Speedbar
in a DesqView window, it showed over 150Mhz.

Unfortunately, I didn't see this myself.  How can this happen?  The one
thing I DID do myself last week was to run Speedbar within a VP/ix
window on 386/ix and the results were down under 100MHZ -- obviously
some overhead.  So what's happening with Speedbar and DesqView?  My guys
here are off on other stuff and can't investigate.

Help!

By the way, Xwindows is a gas on a 486!  I'll bet you all can't wait!
