	Recently, a friend of mine said that by firing up SuperCalc and then
exiting his PCjr would perform nearly twice as fast as it did before using
SuperCalc.  Thinking this behavior to be rather odd, I ran a bench mark
program (the public domain dhrystone program distributed over net.sources)
before and after the alleged speed increase.  Well, it was faster: 195
dhrystones/sec before, and 396 dhrystones/sec after (the same as a PC).

	Needless to say, I am curious about the cause of this serendipitous
event, and if any of you happen to know the answer I would like to know why
this happens.  Please post to the net (no e-mail), as I am sure others are
interested as well.

Thanks,
Tim Iverson.
