I haven't tested it for speed, but the docs said it could be as large as
63MB. However when I tried I couldn't get it over 29 642 Kb (22 160 Kb
while in Windows). Has anyone been able to get more out of it?
In any event it might be better for DR-DOS users since it's capable of more
than the cache program that you get with DR-DOS.
