 That is exactly the problem.  On NT/XP systems, there is a third-party
 program called TAMEDOS which intercepts the busy loops and does
 something so that the CPU is free but the application does not slow
 down.
If some prog can do that, then dosemu
should either. It is just a matter of
knowing what exactly that program
intercepts ("intercepts the busy loops"
is too obscure).
Maybe a test-case of a clipper prog can
be found somewhere to see what it does?

know at least one of the loops is a constant keyboard poll:
dosemu is catching that. It is also
trying to catch a mouse polling, and
then people complain that programs
slows down when mouse is inactive:)
It also intercepts the timer polling
and some other things. I have no
guesses as to what's missing.
