[comp.os.os2] OS/2 Disk speed.

I have read (Byte October '88) that OS/2 is considerably slower
than DOS (20-50%) for Hard Disk access.  I cannot believe that
this is true and I was wondering if anyone could give me some
better idea of the speed of OS/2 compared to DOS for disk access.

Also, HPFS is supposed to be faster... how much faster and will
it make a difference.  I wish I had a system that I could test
myself, but until then, any help would be appreciated.
