Only the JIT does.  The chipset emulation bogs down heavily when running software that pushes the limits.  Also, the JIT disables the possibility of debugging when writing new software so you have to disable the JIT when attempting to do so.

The Amiga custom chips do an awful heckuva lot!  Trying to emulate them with OpenGL or DirectX would require a lot of CPU intervention or extensive shader support or both.

Apple used to overclock their 680x0 chips.
