I think "several"<=2, consider that you can even optimize some things (e.g. REP instructions) in an instruction-level emulator. PCEMU can still run perfectly some small useful applications. I have tried the latest Word on a PowerMac 7100, and it doesn't look any faster than VI under PCEMU. There are so many ways to slow down things...
