Hi there
My apologies if this is the wrong way to post a question. I don't see 
any information on how to post a question on the Forum.

The file management program "DirMagic" runs extremely slowly under 
DOSEMU2. All other programs run super fast.
Dirmagic runs normally under QEMU. I am using Linux Mint 22.1 and the 
latest version of DOSEMU2.

DirMagic is a simple, compact DOS file management program written by 
Michael J Mefford from PC magazine in 1988.
It lists files,  directories, sorts, copies, moves, renames and allows 
viewing and searching of text files.
The program is 8564 bytes in size. I can send it to you or upload it.
Thanks and regards
John Ritchie

Try running `speed 0` in a DOS
prompt, before starting the program.

You can use the github tracker for this:

Apologies for the late response! Generally the conversation is happening 
on GitHub and it requires a GitHub account. (I acknowledge this is not 
optimal.)
Maybe I could check it and create a ticket if I can reproduce the problem.

Maybe you could provide a URL where we could download a copy? That would 
seem helpful.

Best regards,
