SPEEDUP Version 0.0 - 8086/8088/V20 Processor Speed Increaser 
Freeware from Kirk Lawrence                   CP/M-86 Edition


SPEEDUP will increase the effective processor speed of a PC or XT class
computer by five to ten per cent...a fairly significant "speed-up."

SPEEDUP works by instructing the 8253 timer chip to slow down the RAM
refresh rate.  It changes the normal DREQ0 interrupt from its usual
15-microsecond interval to a much longer period of time.

This means that the processor doesn't have to spend nearly as much of its
time refreshing the RAM...which effectively increases processing speed.

The RAM refresh, even at this much lower rate, should be well within the
"safe" limit for 8086/8088/V20-based machines.  However, if by some chance
SPEEDUP causes your computer to "lock up," simply reboot the machine.

SPEEDUP.CMD is free.  As is always the case with "freeware," there are no
guarantees whatsoever.  If you use SPEEDUP.CMD, you do so entirely at your
own risk and peril.  Your use of SPEEDUP.CMD shall be prima facie evidence
under law that you understand and accept these terms and conditions.
