It is straight forward. The faster the host platform, the faster
the emulator. A high quality SSD will help as well. The
cheaper SSDs are not so good. Using an SSD as a host boot device
provides the best overall improvement.<br><br>

I was wondering if anyone had done any performance testing on SIMH? I'm
specifically interested in the VAX platform. I'm presuming that a top of
the range Core i7 is going to be pretty hard to beat? Is it best run on
an SSD card for IO performance?<br><br>
