Half of this is true, DOS applications indicates a 100% of CPU use in W95, but 
I think that you must interpret it like this: Windows is giving the 100% of the 
spare time to the DOS task, so if you really use the machine it will give CPU 
to other task. But ever will give the rest to the DOS task.
In general that isn't too bad (you can run other applications without problem), 
but calling to __dpmi_idle() RHIDE can signal that the CPU isn't needed. I 
experimented that in my editor because a request of Gili about a similar 
behavior under OS/2 Warp.
