No It doesn't man, it actually free's up the time slicing from (2) or more 
trying to hog all the CPU.. As I said before, try this..

1. Run a DOS door, or program, then kick off a second one like Thedraw...
2. Play with it and see how lagged and how much CPU it eats..
3. Set both NTVDM's to low priority, and you'll see it works so much better

I've tested this several times.. I would have someone login on my bbs which is 
a dos based bbs, and I would be working in Thedraw at the same time, things 
would come to a frickin crawl.. I would set both NTVDM's to low prioiry, and 
The Draw would run smooth and fast, as well as the BBS node..
