Frame skipping is a bless. It increments speed of my emu by 80-90%...
(In my emulator there is a possibility to choose the number of skipped frames, but unfortunately almost no use of more than 5
skips, it becomes really jammed... On the other hand: if you own a fast processor -means: at least 68040-40Mhz-, then using 5 skipped frames increase speed upto almost 150-180% compared to a real Plus/4.
I just love playing with Driller and Total Eclipse on this speed...
I have to "Be Quick Or Be Dead"... ;)))))

I use real time (non-sampled) sound, it is much faster. Sad to say:
without line-synchron digital sound is unacceptable. So there is place for sampled sound... (And a fast machine too...)

Jesse! On a hungarian amiga mailing list was a really big flame about this machine. Is this really fast as had been said?

I checked this possibility in Frodo (multiplatform C64 emulator), but decrease speed much.

Anyway, you would be in trouble with threads: different enviroment for each processor... If you solve this on a general way, that may decrease performance.

I just love tasks... (Amiga Rulez!)
