I use DJGPP in dosemu 0.66.7 (Linux 2.0.32, libc 5.4.33), and haven't had
any such problems. Things are slower, of course, but not that much slower.
(Maybe a factor of 1.5-2, at the most.)

You might look at how your I/O stuff is configured. Are your files remapped
with lredir, or are you using a DOS partition, or what? What video scheme
(emulation or direct) are you using?

I understand there is a dosemu mailing list. You might consider sending this
there. If you have no luck, send me your dosemu.conf, and/or I can send you
mine.
