DosBox has not been optimized for the N900's GPU, so the performance still leaves something to be desired when running software that's newer then 1993....
Your best bet for performance is to use PR1.1, put it in fullscreen mode and disable all scaling (and all sound if you're not using it). It won't get much better than that unless radical improvements to the recompiler.

but dosbox is a full emulator. it emulates a complete x86 PC.and to add something constructive to this thread:
there's a hack available to enable right-click under dosbox, but it's not for the faint hearted. works, though
edit:
@arctine:
open the dosbox.conf file in a texteditor, it's all there, self-explanatory.

Thanks. Still a bit choppy but better. The only problem now is the clicking is out of sync. Like, the mouse doesn't go where i touch, anyway to fix that?

So, to ask again, is there any chance there will be better performance with DOSbox? I've already tweeked the .config to as good as it's gonna get.
