I expected this response...
With all due respect, the answer is: "no, not really."
Actually, I believe he's right.
When you use BootCamp, you are booting the computer directly into
Windows. No emulation, no sharing of resources, nothing of the sort.
It's just an other 'plain vanilla PC' similar to a Sony, Toshiba,
Dell, AlienWare, or what have you. Similar to having a computer
(regardless of manufacturer) that has Windows XP, Vista, and two
flavors of Linux installed; you're only running one at a time.
And, since 3-4 years ago when Apple switched to Intel chips, there's
no emulation. At least not in the sense that the PowerPC instructions
are being translated into Intel ones. Same chip, same instructions.
So, even the Parallels and Fusion programs which let you run them side-
by-side are excellent in terms of speed.
I don't have an Intel Mac, nor any interest in games of the type you
mention, so I can't test it, but from what I've read on Windows-
oriented websites (PC World, PC Magazine, etc.), Windows running on
Mac often performs better than on traditional PC computers, including
many games.
