Peter, You have a clue!!!

I was wondering when somebody was finally going to bring this up.

Try running real time applications on a VAX under VMS.  Especially things
like high speed data collection.  You end up dropping a lot of data on the
floor.  On the other hand, a lowly 16-bit DG Eclipse running RDOS will do a
wonderful job for you.  The problem is that the development environment is
a real bitch to live with.

So, where are you going to make your tradeoffs?  You can't have your address
space and use it too.
