VP/ix performance?

[Rich Goldschmidt]

I have been evaluating a MS-Windows application under VP/ix which interacts
with Unix, by invoking either a shell or a Unix application.  The performace
has been disappointing, even when the Unix application is moved to a different
box, and VP/ix is using the serial port for I/O.  It takes between 2 and 5 
times longer to display a large file on a 16MHz 386 (running Interactive 
1.0.6 with 4 MB of memory) as it does on a 12 MHz 286 running DOS.  

I am interested in other peoples observations about VP/ix performance, and
what kind of application environment and hardware configuration they are
using.  We are still looking for ways to improve performance, and I would
welcome any suggestions.  I would appreciate email responses since I don't 
always get to read the news.
