We do not need, in almost all cases, faster execution, but real execution on the
same time as an MSX do that task. This is not to easy to acomplish, but it's
possible. But remember that a PowerMac is VERY expensive, and AFAIK
this is not the way we want the new MSX.
I think it's more wise a new computer, that works in a similar way, with a daughter
board of "compatibility". This would be better. (-:
