a) DJGPP produces exactly the same code as gcc for linux.
   ( It is in fact gcc for dos compiled from almost the 
     same sources)

b) well dos is a single tasking system (oh really :-) ?) 
   and so of course it runs probably a tiny bit faster than 
   linux, because your program gets the complete power of
   your computer once it is started.
   (Which is NOT a good thing :-)
