As you're running multiple processes DV gives slightly more "power" to 'em.
You'll be sure to loose some cpu time with VM386.

You'll still need two machines if you gotta have the power. VM386 hardly
ever does crash you whole machine. It usually crashes only one virtual
machine, but not always! I've been able to crash the machine a few times.
It will tolerate you jumping to random addresses etc. I guess I crashed
it with 'cli hlt' sequence. It is not the only way to crash it.

I must say I agree that it is the best product available.
