With a hard disk I don't think the paging would be much more than a minor
irritant since, being a strong beliver in modularity, I keep most of my
source files < 15k.  But with the (abismally slow) floppy disk drives on
our TI's, this might be a problem.

If you mean they are much slower than an I*M PC's floppies, then it will help
a great deal if you set buffers=20 in your config.sys file.  (I presume you
know that a diskette formatted on an I*M PC will read *very* slow on a TIPC,
because of the inter leave difference.  Floppies formatted on a TIPC can be
read on an I*M PC with only a slight slow-down.)
