As was stated by the OP, this is for DOS games. So, there is no "nothing
to be done". Further, you are assuming everybody uses Linux. What makes
you think so?
Besides, your "nice" would not do the same thing, you know? You'd need
_another_ tast _using_ the CPU to slow down QEmu. Which would burn through
the battery like hell.
