That's a known problem (has to do with how shared library calls are
done).
I have a fix which I hadn't fully shaken down (required some tricky
assembly-language changes) so I decided not to include it in 0.2-3. It
will be fixed in the next release.

You're probably confusing em86 with FX!32. The latter is an incremental
translator with optimization, which runs only on NT. The former is a
pure
emulator. You're always going to get slow performance (unless someone
manages to clone me two or three times so I can implement some kind of
translator).
FYI - on a 500MHz system, em86 will perform roughly the equivalent of a
12MHz 486. Yeah, it's slow, but it gets you there...
