86box VMs become slow after using it for days

I had 2 VMs, one Windows 98, and one Windows NT 4, and it seems that when a use a VM for atleast a week, it suddenly becomes slow, what I mean, is, when I start using the VM, its mostly at 100%, but suddenly it slows down to 42-80% when booting. I Brushed it off for my 98 VM, but day before yesterday, the VM suddenly was slow. nothing changed. I use:

  • 86box 6.0-1
  • Arch Linux on Kernel 6.18.37-1-lts, and 7.x
  • A computer capable for emulating the VMs in question, as both VMs were fine at creation.

Please help, Thank you.
