Not true. I use VMware all the time. Both the subjective analysis and actual benchmarks show that a Guest OS that is running native code on its native processor has performance that is comparable to a dedicated machine. Virtual PC emulating Intel on PPC is definitely slow, but the majority of this slowness comes from having to emulate the processor's instruction sets and data formats. Virtual PC emulating Intel on Intel would be a pleasure to use in comparison.
