Interesting. I've found that DOS and linux, (at least when running in
the text console, without x), was quite useable under
bochs, and I might still even be using it for that, if dosemu, and
user-mode-linux weren't available. The time that bochs really dragged
was when I put win95 on it, along with wineyes, to see how it did. The
install of win95 was possible to get through with a great deal of
patience and time, but once it played the M$ sound, until the time it
was ready to use, was about 15 minutes, and I'm not exaggerating that
either, I timed it. Even when it was ready, the speech from wineyes
coming through the sound card was so choppy and delayed, (even after
playing with the bochs sound settings), that you couldn't tell what it
was saying, unless you knew by heart what it was going to say when you
did something. I also found that the alt, tab, and windows keys
weren't useable, making things even more difficult.
