Hi All,
FWIW [virtually nothing, since the product is now discontinued], there is an alternative that was consistently rated 4 to 5 times faster than VPC: SoftWindows.
Whereas VPC emulates the entire Intel instruction set, SoftWindows translates some instructions directly to Mac OS calls. Running SoftWindows 98 on an original iBook & Mac OS 9.2, I was able to run ESRI's ArcExplorer "GIS for Everyone" tutorials with "reasonably" acceptable speed.
Once again, the better product bites the dust...flattened by the Microsoft juggernaut.

* swift population increase...,
* the rapid advance of technology, and, most influential &...dangerous of all,
* a perverse self-centered mind-set that shapes the character of many human actions"
