It works with dosemu 1.3.4. Great!

Now I come up with an related question. The application does a busy-loop so 
the processor load is always 1. I know I can nice dosemu, but that has 
effects only to the responsiveness of my system.

I'd like to assign only a part of the processor to dosemu so I can make use of 
power saving features. Is it possible to slow down the looping of moronic DOS 
apps?

$_hogthreshold = (1) doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

Kind regards
