I find QEMU is noticeably slower for heavy disk I/O (installing FreeDOS in QEMU takes probably ten minutes longer than installing in VirtualBox, for example) but otherwise runs great. I do much of my app dev in FreeDOS running on QEMU. Note that QEMU has a ton of command line args you need to give it: set the CPU, the clock, the memory, the virtual hard drive, the virtual CD-ROM, the sound, the video, the display, etc. And that can be a pain. But I write a script that starts it for me, which is really easy. QEMU also uses a virtual hard drive (DOSEMU uses a Linux directory for your C drive) but that's easy to manage. And you can mount the virtual drive using Linux tools like guestfstools. >
