I haven't used Dosemu in over a decade so I can't comment. I have used dosbox recently. Dosbox integrates very nicely with you existing environment. Just cd to you exe and "dosbox foo.exe". Dosbox with treat the pwd as C:\ and start foo.exe. With Qemu you have to create a drive image for C: and it is harder to move files in/out of that image.

WRT performance, Qemu is probably faster. kvm doesn't support real mode so will revert to straight qemu. Not sure about kqemu. That last Dosemu I used (last decade) used vm86 for near native speed.
