In my youth, people would quit Windows 3.1 to run games in DOS, because the overhead of the OS was too much.

Don’t know if that could be an explanation.

Definitely that was often a solution, but the version I had didn't run on DOS. Not sure whether this was a windows only version I had. Often the problem was ram, extended memory often didn't really work on DOS.
