Try starting xdos from within gdb and
interrupt it with ^c when it locks. Then
you can do a stack trace and see where
it is sitting.

Then this is more likely not dosemu problem.
I have similar problem with network cards:
the communication is deadly slow (telnet's
echo appears 1-2 minutes after typed), but
if I do a flood ping in parallel, then
everything works without any slowdown.
(yes, this is not a joke about flood ping).
Linux's hardware drivers are full of the
curious things:(
