Don't you have to change to real mode to access BIOS calls?  That would be a major pain.  If you only changed modes during application initialization it wouldn't be so bad, but you wouldn't want to do it while you were running.
I might not be remembering correctly how you access the BIOS.  If you don't have to switch to real mode, it shouldn't be a concern.
