Yup - and this is *without* the new JIT compiler.
All of which brings us neatly full-circle - UAE may be great for running
old games, but an emulator which doesn't attempt to emulate the chipset
(A Draco emulator maybe? Or the AROS project once it's more complete)
would be well worth having for using legacy applications.
All the best,
