There's a utility called 'fastv20' that speeds up NEC V20 chips, and fixes a
compatibility problem with them through software. I don't exactly remember
what it does to make it faster, since I don't have the docs in front of me
right now. It does do a pretty good job though!

Can you elucidate on "stabilize/speedup NEC V20 chips"? I
thought I had considerable experience working with 8088
clones (8086/NEC V20/NEC V30) but I've never heard of such a
procedure (or need)...
