Remember, I'm asking about emulation on PowerPC hardware not x86 hardware... I'd think emulating a PPC system on a PPC system would be drastically faster than emulating a PPC system on an x86 system.
Depends on the host's X86/X64 and PPC processors. The other PPC emulator for X86/X64 is Dolphin GC/Wii emulator.
For example;
Zelda Twilight Princess for Wii on Dolphin Emulator
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX31YpzT7ZsIntel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.2Ghz (it's not even Intel Core i7)
Geforce 8800GT (overclocked).
IBM PowerPC G3 class "Broadway" @729Mhz + ATI Hollywood GPU (reportly clocked @243 MHz) being emulated at playable speeds.
The example's PC config rivals a real SAM440 or PowerMac G3 @700Mhz hardware.
Atm, there’s a lack of interest to emulate AOS4/MOS2.x from the X86 side. Secondly, there's the native X86 AROS.
For income and development, X86 side prefers to emulate ARM based machines.
