It also was surprisingly fast. No idea how SIMH on a

At a guess, I would guess that this question boils down to "just how
many orders of magnitude faster is the x86 box?"
I'd expect at /least/ two OOM. Three might be distinctly possible if
comparing to a really old, low-end VAX chip, such as, say, an rtVAX
300. :?)
