The only issues you may have there are (obviously) lack of emulated EMS plus lack of free memory for shelled-out (child) apps. (See here.) Also, CWSDPMI needs more RAM if the DJGPP .EXE has a bigger than default (16k) transfer buffer (see stubedit). Of course, being able to load / unload JEMMEX is indeed nice for such a reason (although no UMBs available). BTW, I haven't benchmarked it, but XMS/real mode is supposed to be faster than EMM386/V86. (I guess JEMMEX avoids this via the Pentium's VME, if available.)
