Funny, I found the emulator to run slightly slower than the real device doing simple animation. (I was running the emulator on a 2 GHz machine.) I thought there was some speed governor in the emulator to keep the ticks per second approximately correct. Are you sure you're using the right rom?
I also found that other roms seemed appropriate to their speed. I could get about half the number of frames per second on a Palm III (16Mhz) than I could on and Visor Platinum (33MHz) ROM.
Anybody know if there actually is a speed governor in the emulator and to what extent it tracks the speed? (e.g. does it get down to the level of trying to make cpu instructions take the appropriate number of clock cycles?) Just curious.

Yup, it would be easy to mistake the emulator for an actual emulator :)
