Unfortunately, a direct comparison between win98 real and win98 virtual is not meaningful, because the former is a PII-233 laptop, and the later is a K7-600 desktop machine. But that being said, the PII is much, much slower than the other machine. NT Workstation running on a raw partition appears to be comperable to it running on the same machine natively, however. That leads me to believe that this may be a phenomenon limited to win98. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
