Then 30 days in March for the low 15% performers to show improvement that would be impossible. Expect terminations in April. This all adds up.

Known as Neutron Jack because he wiped people out like a neutron bxxb that goes off taking out people but leaving bldgs intack. He was almost universally hated by GE workers and GE soon fell into decades of disrepair after he left. It wipes out morale, teamwork, creativity, loyalty, going the extra mile etc etc. And is a very lazy way to "run" a company. I have seen [01:05] schestowitz[TR2] race horses and greyhound dogs be treated with more respect.

    DOSBox performance improvements on modern processors

    [09:18] schestowitz[TR2]

    Fun sad fact. In 2007, when I wrote my review of 1942: Pacific Air War, I had better performance using DOSBox on a single-core Athlon running Windows XP than I have in 2025/2026 with multi-core new-gen modern processors and Linux as the operating system. Indeed, I've been recently re-playing this fabulous WW2 simulator, but the in-game playback smoothness, even the graphics, simply aren't as nice [09:18] schestowitz[TR2] as they were 17 long years back.

    [09:18] schestowitz[TR2]

    This momentous setback prompted me to try to resolve the issue. Here we are. An article that should partially help you improve your DOS games speed. However, take into account I can't really guarantee success, as my own tests shows lots of unpredictability and weirdness. Still, it ought to be quite useful. And we will tie this guide to the tutorial on DOSBox sound issues I wrote recently, too. Af [09:18] schestowitz[TR2] ter me, folks.
