I think DOSEMU cannot set speed but it's much much faster (esp. for progs using VESA graphics, DOSEMU allows direct LFB access and other HW access) than DOSBOX. On my system I cannot see much difference when running program under DOS and DOSEMU. But DOSBOX has better sound support and speed adjust. It's better for old games (I mean very old, before Doom). So I have installed both.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
