I ran QEMU+kqemu against VMWare 5.0 using the SiSoft Sandra benchmark 
and got some surprising numbers.  I don't know if the VMWare 5.0 beta's 
debugging is getting in the way of its emulation numbers, but it seems 
like QEMU is ahead of the pack here in terms of raw instruction 
throughput (higher is better):

VMWare:
Integer: 13725 it/s
Floating Point: 14580 it/s

QEMU+kqemu:
Integer: 14991 it/s
Floating Point: 15949 it/s

Note that VMWare feels much smoother - most likely due to its more 
advanced video and mouse drivers.

Congrats!
Matt.
