Subject:	SCOUG-General: More Q's on tuning OS/2 for legacy DOS

Less overhead for the memory manager, also I believe it uses 64k pages
instead of 16k pages, so there is less page swapping into low memory.

For the best performance I still think you should use a OS/2 ram disk and
forget about all this DOS stuff to tune it. Isn't there a OS/2 ramdrive,
besides the ramdrive IFS?

Thanks, Paul. I'm curious -- why use XMS instead of EMS for the
RAMDRIVE?
