No way can a P266 deliver 060 performance.  Nor can a P100 deliver 040 performance.  There's overhead involved in the emulation, not to mention the OS, etc.  I'd say the P266 could emulate a fast 020 and the P100 could do a nice 68k but not faster.

Yes, I used WinUAE with JIT on my old AMD K7-700 and 256M RAM and it's (sometimes) very fast.  But, the benchmarks are misleading.  On some tests, the speeds show 060 speeds.  But, in normal use it's much slower.  Try running benchmarks other than SYSSPEED and you'll see the difference.
