Hello all again,

I must CLARIFY that my success was on Linux (gentoo 2.6.7 kernel) 
actually and not OS X. I'm really sorry having ommitted this important 
fact! 

The performance ... well it is slow if I am honest. You can 
play actually, for example, play real player 10 live streaming audio with 
aomw crackling and sometimes the oss crashes and cause qemu to die 
(therefore sound is off by default according to qemu doc ;-) 
Streaming audio is out of the question but I imagine that would be the 
same on a real windows using Pentium Pro. That's the reason I tried qemu 
in the first place. All in all I'm very impressed ... kudos to the 
developers.
