PC-Task (maybe PCX too)

Well, Wolfenstein runs okayish on 060/RTG, Abuse is a little slow and Windows 95 hilarious...

I'm surprised Wolfenstein runs at all... Even basic DOS things like listing a directory and running MSD (Microsoft DOS-based info application) seem to crawl along like a snail with a hangover... This is with PCTask4 on an A1200/060/50MHz/32Mb.

Perhaps I'll have to try it on my A3000 (which does have RTG) to see if it runs better on there.

Or I could just use a PC, but where would the fun be with that!!  :-D

With all due respect to the author, is that gospel? I have been digging around in comp.sys.amiga.emulation and some people there seemed to hold a different view, and that AGA was faster than RTG with PC-Task, but I couldn't find anything actually official on the subject.

Chris Hames, the PC-Task author just wrote in the original manual that PC-Task is considerably faster on OS3+ when running in its own window or on a graphics board. I think I never even tried on AGA; when I bought it, I had A500/060/RTG, so no need even to test on ECS as it is of course dead slow.
