>The Windows NT version of Speed Razor is apparently 3 times faster at
rendering than Windows 3.11 and will likely get faster as they refine the
program to take advantage of dual Pentium systems. There is some talk around
about a rendering accelerator but I don't know when this will happen or whether
this is hardware or software and whether it will be provided by DPS or
in:sync.<
Interesting, I have been hearing the NT 32 bit predictions from DPS/in:sync but
the counter to those are the bench marks done my PC Magazine in this months
issue. NT running 32 bit apps from Microsoft (Word and Excel) ran slower than
the 16 bit apps on 3.11! NT required much more memory to come even close. The
authors suggest that the security overhead for protected memory causes the
disparity.
I hope that in:sync is more sucessful than Microsoft in exploiting NT.
