Bumps?
...when im speeding up the cpu cycles, the game does speeds up, but it doesn't get to original speed befor it starting to slow down.
That basically means you don't have enough processing power to run it at the speed you want. When you run an emulator like DosBox, it has to split up part of your PC's resources between the PC emulator and your actual PC. Once you give too much of your resources to the emulator (too many cycles), it will cause your "real" PC to slow down (which, of course, causes the emulator to slow down as well).
im sure my cpu (1Ghz) is strong enough to run it with sound a normal speed....why is that?
Don't be too sure. Remember, you're not just running a game, you're emulating a computer running a game.
One thing you might check is windowsize if you're running it in a window. Either start and the game in fullscreen mode or make sure your .CONF file has the setting of keepsmall=true.

I'm going to take a wild guess that Qbix was trying to point you to an experimental "Dynamic Recompiling" version of DosBox. It's designed to squeeze out more performance without having to upgrade your hardware.

Just remember, it's NOT an official release, so don't bug the DosBox authors about it and don't get your hopes up too high.
