Hi,

My x86 (AMD Athlon 1200MHz) and ppc (G3 700MHz) are more or less the same
speed.  I installed Win95 on Bochs on FreeBSD/x86 and installation went
fast and speed seemed acceptable.  However, when I did the same thing on
OS X several weeks/months later, it was quite slow installing Win95 and 
speed really not
acceptable..  But I somehow could not really find my FreeBSD Bochs setup
to really compare side by side.

I remember seeing on the Bochs forums people trying out different
compilation/configurations options for OS X/ppc and getting some
improvements.

David
