Well, I could assume that the very slow performance might be caused by cache/memory issues, but I have just tried running the Windows version of plus4emu 1.2.2 on a machine that is theoretically much worse than yours (a 1300 MHz Pentium III Celeron with 256MB RAM, nVidia GeForce4 MX video card, and SB Live Value sound card), and it seems to run fine. Without floppy emulation, the maximum speed is about 340-350%, with one 1551 drive it is 210%, with a 1541 it is 180%, and with 1541 and SID emulation it is still 145%. I tried the Chaos demo and it ran smoothly (using a CRT monitor at 100 Hz and double buffered video even looks better than my current LCD monitor that does not support any integer multiples of 50 Hz  ). Given that the Pentium III Celeron also has a quite small cache, it is even more difficult to understand how you get so bad performance.
