If you just want Applesoft to run faster on a simulator, it would be
much easier (and faster) to have the simulator hook the Applesoft ROM
floating point routines and do the computations using native floating
point, rather than trying to simulate any particular accelerator card.

I have not heard of this being done, but it should be fairly easy on any
simulator for which source code is available.
