Dosbox goes really slow when there is a huge number of files to be loaded...
For example progammes that use databases(5477 files) are REALLY hard to start up.
Is there a fix for this?

Set DosBox to correct core.
Increase cycles or use auto cycles.
Decrease the # of files in your Database.
Use your Database program in your host computer.
Use your Database program in VM software that supports running Database software.

dosbox isn't designed with things like that in mind
No game would do that.
