Dosbox pure slow!

I have a Snapdragon 435 smartphone (1.4Ghz). When I run quake in dosbox pure it’s only like 10 frames a second running at a resolution of 320x200. When I play tomb raider on EPSXE it runs at a steady 30 frames per second and it’s geometry is as complex as quake. Why is dosbox pure so slow? Is it more cycle accurate compared to EPSXE?

it’s not really an apples-to-apples comparison. But yes, dosbox can be pretty demanding.

Thanks for responding. I guess I’ll try another dos emulator for Android.
