I've noticed that Win95 (normal and OSR2) takes a very noticeable performance hit every time there's a disk access (and I have a SCSI hard drive and CDROM). Usually I never notice disk accesses under OS/2 or Linux. So the performance gains under OS/2 or Linux may be significantly different from Win95 since they're more independent of the hard drive. The same goes for Win95 and networking - one network connection hangs and it locks everything else out. You're left twiddling your thumbs waiting for it to timeout. I'll stop now before this starts to become Windows-bashing... -- John H. Kim kim@mak.com
