It's been a while since I've been in the loop with DOSEMU but IIRC since Linux takes over the BIOS clock and runs it at a different clock rate it has to emulate the 18.2ms(?) interrupt call ... DOSBox probably does the same thing. The difference between the two is DOSEMU is a generic DOS emulator and DOSBox is a DOS emulator tuned for running Games.
