Do you have these problems with the latest release ? Now that these OSes 
can be launched I hope it will be easier to debug.

There are still problems in win95/win98 for the hardware probe, although 
with my latest patches for self modifying code it works better. The 
hardware probe problem should explain the impression of slowness in 
win95/win98: the timers run about 10 times slower, so all the graphical 
animations are slowed down by this factor - hopefully QEMU itself is not 
so slow !
