At a maximum, no more than a V20 would in a PC.
It did have several
interesting features, including 8080 emulation
(like the V20) and the
ability to address 4MB of memory. I liked the
chip--and there was at
least one portable/luggable based on it.
It was a common retrofit in a lot of XT-alikes. I
fitted a few to Amstrad
PPCs, way way back.
Fine, but does a V40 present the same *possible*
incompatibility issues as an 80186. And for that
matter but OI NOT THE ORIGINAL QUESTION does a V20/V30
present any of it's own...
