Here's a question about OS/2 2.0 that I'd really like the answer to...

Currently whenever I multitask DOS apps, accessing the floppy drives really
grinds the rest of the system down.  With Windows 3 it's not too bad, you can
tell that something is going on and things move in little "jerks."  With
DesqView 386 it's _really_ bad, I can hardly do anything in the other windows
until the disk access is finished.

Luckily I don't need the floppies often, but when I need it it's a real pain.
How does OS/2 2.0 do with floppies?
