I'll say. I ran the BBS under DOS for several years, then ran DOS apps
as a window under OS/2, then ran OS/2 binaries. Running OS/2 native, I
couldn't tell there was any processing going on, and this was on a lowly
486.

I ditched OS/2 after Windows95 came out, and remember trying to get it
to run a DOS BBS comfortably, and needing idle TSRs, rebooting
occasionally, and generally not having a good time of it. Callers were
on the decline, so it had less of an impact.

By the time 2000 rolled around, Intel PCs had enough horsepower to make
up for Windows 9x shortcomings and Windows 2000 was released. But, by
that time, I was down to a caller or two a day.
