Everything runs faster under DOS assuming you are willing to duplicate
all the specialized programming done for various video cards and sound
cards to get the equal speed increase of the specialized drivers for
Windows.  But considdering that the special coding for each card is
virtually impossible nowadays, Windows will almost surely run a good 3D
game better - especially with DirectX 5.
