   Why is it that my hard disk tranfer rate drops dramatically
   when tested in desqview/386 (ie desqview+QEMM) but not in 
   dos under QEMM or in plain Desqview (ie Desqview without QEMM).

   Some examples are shown below. Note that all tranfer rates
   are given in Kbytes/second and measure with coretest.

                                        DOS  QEMM   Desqview   Desqview/386
16Mhz 386sx + scsi disk+sto2 cntlr      350   320   350          95
20Mhz 386   st506 type disk+cntlr       165   150   165         104
33Mhz 386   st506 type disk+cntlr       165   160   165         150
16Mhz 386sx Priam disk+cntlr            640   500   610          95

   Is this normal? Am I not seting up QEMM correctly?
