First off I'd just like to give a quick thank you to the makers of DOSbox. You have another VERY happy user here.

Anyways, I've been able to get Harvester up and running, but fairly slowly it seems. The mouse lags a bit and it seems like frames skip every now and again. I've attempted to decrease the framerate to no avail. Anyone else have this trouble and/or a way to fix it? Thanks!

Have you changed core=normal to core=dynamic in dosbox.conf.

Have you tried adjusting your cycles?

Changed to core=dynamic and set my cycles to auto and the game is running MUCH smoother, thank you. But now the audio seems to skip mildly, especially in the dialog. I have begun to play around with some of the sound configurations, with little sucess so far. Any ideas on pinpointing my new trouble?

Try manual cycle settings and Ctrl+F11/F2 until you find sweet spot (fast game and good sound). It is also reccommended to monitor your CPU usage during that (if reaches 100% even for a moment, sound can skip).
