well, we can use kqemu at least, right? :)

interesting benchmark: I started removing most of the graphics code
(which I originally believed was slowing down qemu a lot) and started
running through ssh on windows host + tap-win32 patch.

Using kqemu, I see no improvement in calculations, meaning the
graphical part (sdl) is not the main blocking point. Next on my
list of trials is the disk/io (we did some pthread experiment in the
past, I think we can get some more bandwith here).

one last point: last time I used qvm86 for windows host, it did
not give good results. Hanged OS, several reboots, qemu
hanging forever. And back then I was using up to date qvm86
cvs. Is qvm86 still active ? If yes (for windows host), I'll try to
do newer benchmarks.
