The speed is not a problem... 68k Emulation is still better than
contextswitching... especially as you can then use Backside Caches... which
you cannot use in Contextswitching-designs... but there has to be done
something to emulate the Amiga Hardware (asides from the CPU). The H&P
Emulation is CPU-only. No custom chips are emulated or such. A PPC Port of the
OS of course would care for this.
