Speeding up DOSBox

A few weeks back, someone mentioned how fast DOSBox was, and I said
it seemed quite slow to me.

Today I tinkered with the options file, and I found that it makes a
huge difference changing two options:


priority=highest (default was higher)
cycles=max (default was auto)

I'm using it to run my dBase IV accounting system, and it was
painfully slow summarizing even 2000 records. It's now much peppier.
