I use Quick Basic for an old program that I tinker with (too much work to start over) and every now and then dosbox just seems to bog down and go really slow... Type a letter, wait 20 seconds before it shows up slow.
Windows 7 64-bit

And ask DOSBox question in the DOSBox forum.

http://www.qb64.net/ is another fine alternative. No need for DOSBox here.
As for the nature of the problem, it could well be something that occurred on the original hardware, couldn't it?

That seems to be suffering from some sort of server downtime at the moment: "Sorry the QLOAD server is not running".
Though I guess you can grab the executable versions of qb64.

A *very* good BASIC implementation is SpecBASIC, based on the very good ZX Spectrum BASIC.

and it's constantly being updated, and the author is very helpful, and responsive for (reasonable) requests for new commands and features.
Plus it's open source, and has been converted to various platforms (Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc), so lots of people can run your programs if you choose to release them to the public.

That would be unlikely to be anything remotely like Quick Basic. (Even line numbers are optional.)
