So it requires either network connection to an ME aware NIC or, 
unsuprisingly, access to some local HW interface of ME (that is used by 
LMS that is a Windows thing). It's somewhat doubtful that such HW 
interface would be available for other than dom0 under Qubes. Thus it
doesn't sound too bad, except for laptops with any kind of wireless
wired to ME (wired NICs need not to be connected - ever, use USB
device for providing ethernet instead if you want to avoid this
kind of issues).

I would agree, but these things are still quite slow... correct? I think 
they are lacking in out-of-order execution and SIMD, for example.


A good benchmark for performance might be something like the last of the 
PowerPC CPUs (G5) which is a different RISC-type architecture.
