Craig,
OK, I'd like to put this little piece of folklore to bed. I have
just run a test, with QEMM, w/no memory manager, and with HIMEM.SYS.
*EXACT* same rendering times, to the second! I can only presume that
Gary's system is running faster w/QEMM due to QEMM handling better some
possible system conflicts (that otherwise slow things down) or to QEMM
RAM/ROM shadowing, where these would otherwise need to be disabled because
of hardware incompatibility. 50-60% faster. Nonsense! Nonsense, I say!
