The bar shows that the CPU cycles is at 10000, and it pretty much is 10000 constantly. Haven't seen it move. Also, in the bar, frameskip is at 0.
I tried running with default options at first, I had same problem. Then I thought D-Fend Reloaded (frontend for DosBox) was at fault, so I tried running the games directly via DosBox. No change. Then I tweaked the default conf file, tested out different renderers, CPU cores and similar. No change.
My old single core Athlon XP machine ran all these games fine and I only had 1GB of RAM back then. Now with quad CPU and 4GB of RAM and a video card 10 times faster I can barely run those same games.
It could be Vista maybe? Although my drivers are latest versions. Also, I don't have much running in background. Right now, only one core is showing 3% to 5% load, other cores are at 0% most of the time.
