The only problem that I have with believability is that u64emu2 ran Killer
Instinct 2 at full speed on my 1.6Ghz Athlon XP processor (and I recall
getting that same speed on a 1.3Ghz processor), but xmame runs it at only
75% speed.  Of course, I'm not a coder so I can't claim to know the
variety of factors that could be playing a part in my problems, including
any speed hacks or tricks used in u64emu.
