I have heard conflicting reports on this issue. Personaly I have experimented
a bit but could not detect enough of a difference to warrent installing a dos
version. You might take a look at the Pov benchmark page and see if anybody
has posted comparson times for the same machine using the different versions.
There is a lot of data available there if you have the time to sift through
it all.
