- The Mac emu "Executor" for clones uses such dynamic translation and achieves
- tremendous speeds (sometimes faster than a 040/33 on a P90). This Executor
- thing is very incompatible but that's due to the completely rewritten MacOS,
- the CPU emu seems very good. And they say their method is flexible enough to
- be adapted to almost any CPU. They just started with x86 because if it's
- possible on the wierd x86 CPUs it will be easy on any other :-)
