No, I do not regard it as overkill - there are many performance-hungry
DOS applications, so buying a P4 was a reasonable decision. Of course, DJGPP
is one of these apps. Compiling Wine in DJGPP, for example, takes a very
long time, as I can tell from first-hand experience.
And yes, I am working on the development of DR-DOS, though anyone can
download the latest WIP version from http://www.drdosprojects.de. :-)
I also hope to be able to use DJGPP for any extensions of DR-DOS.
