How can I speed up the performance of my OS/2 applications?

A. Many applications written for OS/2 will run faster under a Virtual DOS Machine (VDM), this is because NT allocates more resources to a VDM than to the OS/2 subsystem. You should therefore disable the OS/2 subsystem as follows:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager
Double click on GlobalFlag and change from 0 to 20100000. Click OK to save
Close the registry editor and reboot the machine
