I don't see any reason this must be true.  IE crafty under win95 and crafty
in a dos box are pretty much identical.  If you get into paging, yes you can
kill performance.  But there's nothing in windows that makes an application
slower except that you can do graphical things quicker in dos if you want to
take the trouble.  But since a chess engine doesn't do a lot of graphical stuff
while searching, I don't think this should be an issue...
