   You can play around with the number of cycles used of dosbox and the   
   frameskip parameter. Other than that there is nothig you can do about   
   that because Console Applications in Windows always get the full CPU   
   Time when selected, so turning on the fan is the natural reaction of   
   Windows based drivers since the CPU Load goes to 100% when running a   
   Console Application which polls permanently for mouse and keyboard   
   input. Have you considered using FreePascal instead? That will be more   
   compatible to Windows.
