Good luck.
That's right. Two more things you might do to improve performance:

1) In the [cpu] section, you can set the cycles to 'max' and let DOSBox guess the optimal speed, i.e.:

core=simple
cycles=max
cycleup=500
cycledown=250

2) You might want to reduce the sample quality of your Soundblaster emulation. (the section is directly below [cpu])
Try setting it to 11025 instead of the 22050.
