Be carefull not to confuse Bochs and Plex86. Bochs does interpret each
machine language instruction resulting in an extreme reduction of
execution speed. Plex86 does not require to intervent on each
instruction. Once known performance problems are solved in the final
version Plex86 should run with speed comparable to running native.

Another feature to think about is implementing an TCP/IP interface
directly as Win4Lin does. This should result in significant better
performance once the Guest-OS drivers are written.
