Well yes, I have looked at the linux emulation code and it doesn't do
all that much.  How about some differences in memory allocation system
or sockets or something like that?  Could it be that the linux software
is calling the NetBSD routines in a way (or with arguments) which make
the NetBSD code slower than normal?

There has to be _some_ reason why Applix is so slow. :-I  Isn't anyone
else running it on NetBSD?

I grabbed the -current source last night.. I hope I can get it installed
on a 486 to see how it performs.  Too bad there's no such thing as a
vacation for me...
