Is this true?  Obviously a 286 in standard mode is slower than a 386 in
standard mode, because a 286 is slower.  But is running in standard
mode really any slower than enhanced mode for running Windows apps?
For running DOS apps, I understand standard mode is *faster* because
Windows doesn't do all the I/O trapping it does in enhanced mode.
