[Virtualacorn-list] Speed of Iyonix??

[Roger Darlington]

My earlier question asked about a replacement Iyonix, by using some 
sort of VRPC.

However, I have since heard that even if I had the fastest Mac 
possible, a 3.2GHz 8-core thingy, it will not run at equal or greater 
than the Iyonixs; speed, but much less, maybe only 30% of the Iyonixs' 
speed.

I would therefore need a 10GHz Mac just to break-even with Iyonixs' 
speed, let alone surpass it.

Comments please?

What speed (using image processing on VRPC/SA-VRPC or JPEG-picture 
viewing on the VRPC/SA0-VRPC do people see in relation to that of an 
Iyonix?

What is the way forward?  An X-scale-Virtual Acorn??
