You do not get speed anywhere near a 200 MHZ PII. It's more like a 100
MHz P I. I tested both SoftWindows and VPC with Win 95 on a G3/300, and a
low-end Orange Micro card.

I have the test results at http://www.macwindows.com/windata2.html

SoftWindows 95 is faster of the two emulators overall, though VPC won
some of the tests. I also tested slower Mac processors, where SoftWindows
95 was significantly faster than VPC.
