Under NT, the situation is going to be similar to OS/2, since we're both
using a software layer to provide DOS compatibility. The software will
get swamped much easier (because of rapid interrupts) than hardware
would (native DOS).
I don't have any hard numbers right now. Give it a try, and see what
happens.
