1) My party is new and needs to develop its skills before the interface slows down to a manageable speed, or

2) It is a question of how fast my PC is and I need to set the cycles in DosBox lower (usually I have to set it faster).

It's correct that the buttons flicker this fast, I don't think that you can change it by decreasing the cycles (though it might be worth a try). However, the more experienced your thief, the more often the button will be green, increasing your chance to hit enter at a good time. When a door is jammed or the lock is not meant to be picked, the button won't flicker at all but stay red all the time. In this case, you'll have to find the right key (or other means to open the door, i.e. buttons in the wall).
