Under DOS there is no ability to idle waiting for an event. Instead the system must continously poll the keyboard, which takes 100% CPU; it wastes laptop power and it also kills performance of other applications running in Linux. Idon't remember what the setting is, but somewhere there is a setting for how aggressive DOSEMU is in detecting idle DOS applications. Try turning that up and see if you can't make DOSEMU force the issue a little bit :}
