Re:What I want to know - We need benchmarks! (Score 1)

This is exactly why I tought benchmarks would do the trick. Something like the ones PC Magazine (or other ones in the same vein) uses would do, just to give an idea about the general performance of the emulated machine on certain tasks. Frankly, it doesn't really matter how precise they are; they can at least tell us how different disk and video performance is on a DP PowerMac vs an iBook... ;-)

At least, it's a start. Even without entering the complexities of emulation in general, it would at least give a trend, and it does make more sense than flipping arms to see if one can fly!

Thanks anyways to everyone who did post intelligent results and constructive remarks along this thread, since know know a little better how well VPC "looks like" in a user's life... and that's appreciated!
