Subject Hex editor

You can do this to any Windoze DLL or EXE file.

look for the byte 0xCD, and replace it with 0x90

0xCD is the intel machine code for a CALL statement, which causes the
processor to jump to a new location and execure some time-wasting code.

0x90 is the intel machine code for a NOP statement, which is a far
more efficent routine that does nothing for 1 clock cycle.

Replacing all of your 0xCD's with 0x90's will dramatically speed
up the program. The program will not work , or do anything useful
after this, but who is to say that the original Windoze program
actually worked in the first place ? There is even a chance that you
may fix problems in the program by bypassing all of the function calls.
