Currently I am using Stacker on an 8088 and it is not to bad.
Of course I refuse to use such high disk swapping programs like
windows or the like so i get slowdown only during loading.

The are a few shareware programs that do this also.
slim110a.zip lets you use compressed files, looks decent, but I didn't
read the docs close enought to tell you how it works.  One drawback
is that it takes about 73K of mem compaired to ~42K with Stacker.
Its on grind.isca.uiowa.edu if you want to try it.  I think
there might be others though.  Telenet there and use ISCABBS for
the login name and it will drop you in a file system (with
file description :-) )
