The following is from the PMODE docs:

Differences between PMODE/DJ and CWSDPMI:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- no virtual memory
- no NULL pointer protection
- no automatic hooking of real mode ints
- no debug support
- faster than CWSDPMI
- smaller than CWSDPMI (in size and consumed DOS memory)
- comes in a version which can be imbedded in the stub (one image!)
- does not support nesting (new version loaded for each task)
