If they run very slow, you can try and speed them up by pressing Ctrl-F12 while in the game. If it's still not fast enough, try by frameskipping (I think Ctrl-F8 - check in Dosbox's readme file). A combination could also work. Although don't forget that dosbox is an emulator so it needs a higher-end system to run games (at least the newer ones) at their right speeds.
