browsing the Quake source I think I discovered that it uses
__djgpp_nearptr_enable()... does this mean that this method is feasible??
(previously I got the impression that this was a risky and unstable way to
do things)

I can't seem to get the clock resolution to change correctly
and so I can't accurately benchmark this method against the _far* methods...
is it much faster??
