Some DOS doors do use alot of CPU under Windows, because
they use loops that continually poll the keyboard and COM port.
Running the doors under NetFoss solves this problem for most
of these doors, because NetFoss forces the NTVDM to release
the CPU occasionally, and it also emulates Desqview, allowing
DV aware doors to release the CPU on their own (and NetFoss
then converts DV timesliceing to Windows).

There are a other tools which can also be used to lower CPU
usage of these doors, such as TAME.

Regards,  Mike
