hmm, better wait for 2.2.11; 2.2.10 is reported to have other problems.

Ahhh, yes, _that_ explains the problems. Timings under SMP always have
been weird for DOSEMU. In order to do it properly the DOSEMU process
should stay on the _same_ CPU, what isn't possible to force under Linux.
Under 2.0.x you even won't get any relyable behave concerning timer
emulation :-(
I was told 2.2 is doing it better, but due to lack of hardware I never
was able to test it.
