You're not alone - I wrote a 6502 core in Java one weekend a while ago
after a bottle of Cabernet.

The idea was to have a fully modular implementation that easily allowed
'pluggable' expansion cards
I'll email it to you - might contain some ideas... Never got around to
implementing cycle counting in the core though, I'd be interested to
see how you implemented it.
