subject: OS/2 switch...

After a couple of weeks after my ..er...uh...'upgrade' to win95, i've had to 
wipe the thing.  I run a bbs (just two nodes) on a AMD 586-133, 8M RAM and 
the 
system just SLOOOOOOWED and now it's back to the ol' DOS 6.20-Win 3.11 setup 
(this is the preface, the question is coming up).  The system performs well 
with this system but i have lately been getting up on the os/2 info web pages 
and it sounds like everyone in the world should be running Warp.  Even the 
more 'conservative' or objective pages seem to lean towards os/2 over win3.11 
or win95.  My question is has anyone done any comparisons between win3.11 and 
win95 and os/2 on their own machines?  I understand that os/2 can be more 
difficult to setup but in my experience, anything worth running usually is.  
I 
have read all the technical specs and such and i'm seriously looking into 
switching to Warp 3.0.  I don't run a lot of windows applications, mostly dos 
ones for the BBS (i still do command line file moves and such:)  Any info is 
greatly appreciated...
