Emulator Slow on 3 GHz?

["Bryan Parkoff" <nospam@nospam.com>]

Hello,

    I remember reading newsgroups over a year ago.  They claim that about 
500 Apple II Emulators run on 80x86 at 3 GHz at the same time as 
multi-tasking applications.  Each of them may be slow.  If it is reduced 
from 500 to 250 Apple II Emulators, it may increase little more speed.
    If only one Apple II Emulator runs at this time, why do you expect to 
run at 200 MHz on 80x86 at 3 GHz?  DirectX functions including graphics, 
input, and sound may be too much overhead about 60 times per second which 
they affect Apple II Emulator to run at 100 MHz or vary of speed.
    If it is not the case with important speed, emulated hardware including 
motherboard logic, aux card, and 7 slot cards, and timing should be 
emulated.  It whould help Apple II Emulator to be perfect with no bug by the 
following 14M sequence event.  You may be satisfied when RAMWorks III card 
and RAMFactor card are to be emulated.  More general cards can be emulated, 
too.  It would allow people to choose one of these emulated card so they can 
play.
