Introduction : which one is the fastest ???

I would say :

  1. Dos version with VBE driver
  2. Linux version with SVGA driver
  3. Linux with DGA, and Windows with DirectX accelerated (fullscreen)
  4. Windowed modes
Dos is still the fastest version because it has direct access to the hardware, with no multi-tasking to slow it down.

SVGA comes 2 because it's almost the same kind of access as VESA in dos...

The so-called accelerated drivers in windows and DGA in linux, and last the windowed modes.
