Btw, it became much faster when I set the frameskip to 2 and cpu cycles to max. Still not as good as my first PC, 386sx-16, but anyway, I think pretty impressive for a pocketable computer that has to emulate the whole hardware.

(If one wants to fool around even more, he might install the S3 video drivers into Windows, doesn't Dosbox emulate a S3 video card and might then get some speedup perhaps?)
I would never set the cycles to max, it's just a bad idea. But hey, that's me.

If you really want to push it. Go frame skipping 4, cycles between 2600-3000 (someone correct me if I'm wrong about this), and kill off any sound drivers.

You should see a much better performance than the settings you already have.

Anyway, big props for testing this. Most of us wouldn't even bother trying, well, except for qole who seems to be delusional this week.
