If you are talking about DJGPP v2 v.s. TC++ 3.0 and your program doesn't use
disk all the time the answer is that the DJGPP code is MUCH more fast. If your
program uses disk (or BIOS in general) a lot you must redesign it. As with
DJGPP you can use all the memory you can avoid a lot of disk access.

OK, but I must warn you, DJGPP is slow in that, specially in small machines.

No 640Kb limit!
Also, would DJGPP be more suitable for game

Ask to game programers. I think it's much more suitable.
