A slower machine is just one possible feature. Doing it using a CPU
emulator would be a gross waste of CPU cycles imho.

One of the reasons for wanting a DOS domain (no need for artificial
slowness here) is for keeping a few legacy applications going without
having to keep them on their aging hardware, or wasting new hardware on
them.

All things considered, dosemu might be a better option.

thanks

James
