  If you are asking if 3.1e is faster than 3.02, then the answer is: yes.
Specially lathes and sor objects are a lot faster.
  If you are asking if 3.1e for DOS is faster than 3.1e for Windows, then
the answer is: I'm not sure.
  I'm right now testing the DOS and Windows versions for speed comparison.
The testing is not finished yet, but I will post the results here soon.
Right now I can say that at least the official compile of 3.1e for DOS
is _not_ always faster than the MSVC compile of the Windows version
(this result surprised me a little). I will also test with a custom
compile made with djgpp with pentium pro optimizations turned on.
