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.
