| | Using The QEMU Emulator, My Thoughts And Experiences LG #118 |
 | | It's estimated that, without the module, QEMU performs at roughly 5:1 or 10:1 (that is to say, taking five or ten native instructions to perform one emulated instruction), whereas, with the module, the ratio approaches 2:1. |
 | | Compared to Bochs, it's much faster (in fact, on the QEMU Web page, it justifiably boasts of being a "fast!" emulator), but it's also worth noting that its interface is simpler, both on the command line and in the way that you swap out devices while the program is running. |
 | | In QEMU's favor, QEMU currently does not ship with a GUI front end, but between the ability to use a key combination (Ctrl-Alt-f) to switch between full-screen and window modes, and the simplicity of QEMU's internal console commands, you really do not miss it. |
