I have a 386-25 system with 2MB memory and the options Victor
refers to.  Mine has a chips and technology chip set to control things
like shadow ram and interleave.  I too want to know enough about QEMM to
say how one optimizes it, but at present can only add uncertainty:
 
My impression, which I hope someone will comment on, is that in fact 
it's a struggle just to get QEMM to do anything useful with the shadow 
ram in use, because the shadow ram plus the ram on my video and ethernet 
adapters use up much of the memory that would be available for QEMM to 
use for Loadhi.   

QEMM does provide simulated EMS memory for programs that can use it.  Also-
I don't think it makes any difference to QEMM whether your memory is 
interleaved or not- that would likely be transparent to QEMM, and to 
the CPU as well!
