I found a fix.  I run a program called slowdown.com (a TSR) before
executing the door, then unload it when the door exits.  The program slows
down the DOS window (hopefully not the whole computer) to whatever speed
you tell it.  Normally you should be able to use parameters such as /M:50
to be equivalent to a 50MHz 486 but the doors don't seem to work unless I
use /A, which is 5MHz 286.  At least they now run :)
