For completeness, running ready to play version (using wine as well) 
works fine for me, at normal speed.

* Download ready to play version
* cd DATA
* wine qemu -L . -m 256 -no-kqemu -soundhw pcspk,sb16,adlib -localtime 
 -M pc -net none -cdrom cdimage.iso -hda win95b.qcow2 -boot c
# removed option --full-screen that breaks my window manager

I still prefer the wine way, even though game videos won't work (not 
mpeg1 decoder available).
