Reply-To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Hi, I'm very impressed by the functionality of qemu at the current state of development. It's easier to handle than vmware or win4lin, but still slower. Running win98 I got the impression that the speed is sometimes limited by graphics operations, whichs makes me wonder, because SDL should use the hardware acceleration capabilities of the graphics cards. Will it be possible to speed up graphics simply by improving the driver or are memory transfers the bottleneck? greetings, Stefan K. >8^)
