I did some tests on my G4 and compiling with the added option
"-mcpu=7400" (for my TiBook) yields a 8% speed increase. You do not
need any other modification, just grab the latest CVS. I have no
problem with the installation of W98 either with my compiled version or
the 0.6.0 package.
I'll be interested in your results. I don't know if anybody else on the
list has tested qemu on a G5, and I am planning to buy one in not too
long a time.
Lga.
