Video and sound emulation eat fixed amounts of PowerPC CPU resources,
the emulated IIgs CPU takes what's left. Say, if you have a 75 MHz PPC
then maybe 50 Million cycles per second are used to emulate video and
sound engines which gives the IIgs CPU just around 25 MHz PPC power. On
your 225 MHz PowerMac however there are 175 MHz left which the emulated
IIgs can use for raw CPU emulation. 175:25 = 7, 7 times the Bernie
performance although your Mac is just 3 times faster (225:75).
