Bear in mind that it's a 64bit processor and the x86 is only 32bit, so you
end up with major overhead. You might be able to slice off some cycles, but
getting it to run on a 2ghz cpu without the dynarec might be a bit tricky
( or impossible ).
out of curiosity, would a 64-bit processor help? I know some of us
gentoo-ers are getting Opteron/Athlon 64's or Macintosh G5's to play
with. I know the MIPS proc is quite a bit different architecture, but
I'm wondering if there could be some major speed improvements... or at
least a major cut in the overhead.
