QPC replaces the SMSQ/E trig (and other) functions with x86 floating
point code, so that's even faster ;) But apart from that QPC2 is
lacking native FPU support, yes.

I think the biggest drawback of the Qx0 is the weird display
resolution which, as mentioned on the list recently, doesn't seem to
be suitable for LCD monitors. Perhaps a 1024x768 mode could be tweaked
out of the FPGA code, I don't know, but out of the box 1024x512 is bit
problematic.
