As I said, slower. ;-)

However, once the install is done, it isn't all that bad to use for simple 
stuff, and even 50x slower is fast enough to see if things work. It was a proof 
of concept, a friend did a Yellow Dog Linux install on the power emulation. It's 
fast enough to compile a program 64 bit if needed, that was the goal.
