I disagree.  I have a need to be able to load programs into high RAM, but
not under the guise of protected mode.  The way to do this would be with the
C&T chipset, which has built-in EMS 4.0 capability, rather than QEMM.  Alas,
I don't have this capability, and am stuck with poor performance running
heavy-duty coprocessor operations.

It pays to consider all the options.
