Message-ID: Date: 9 Dec 90 22:17:19 GMT Sender: news@diemen.utas.edu.au Distribution: comp Lines: 11 I guess this is not purely a hardware question, but readers of this group are probably best in a position to answer it... I recently purchased a 386sx machine and since it came with the machine I installed Quarterdeck's QEMM memory manager. I then ran some benchmarks - and found that my performance on floating point operations (I don't have a coprocessor) was down by 25% or thereabouts. Does anyone have an explanation?
