Good JIT engine emulation these days is a lot lot better than that. You do need a lot of memory to make that work well. You have another big problem as well - PC applications are still mostly built and tuned on the basis that CPU is cheap, idle time doesn't matter, memory bandwidth is poor, and memory capacity is huge. Not exactly 390 compatible assumptions and ones emulation will magnify.
