So fast that there is no difference between 32-bit and 64-bit systems. (And KVM support is Bart's contribution to the Dosemu project) I would also like to thank the whole Dosemu team! I use Dosemu/FreeDOS to run my DOS accounting program, sometime since 1.0 version (around 2000) - for almost twenty years!
