I did more search aroud it and found that 2.04 version of delay was
degraded to use standard 55ms timer due to WinNT compatability. It
would be good if the delay function (or at startup) determine host OS
and then choose to call proper delay function (old good delay for DOS
and Win9x and new 55ms based delay for NT). Or is possible to hack to
use windows system timer from VDM? I use Sleep() function in mingw32
with 1ms resolution.
