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.
