Wilm,
On any fairly recent CPU you should get near native performance when running
a Virtual Machine. Both AMD and INTEL CPUs have instructions to support
virtualization so there is no need to emulate instructions in the way SIMH
or the Alpha Emulators do.

Subject: [HECnet] VSI VMS x86 on HECnet
Only a little work was needed to put another VSI x86 node on HECnet.
NLx86 (29.213, registry pending) is a guest of VirtualBox 7.0.6 on my HP
Zbook
15u G4 laptop (from 2017)
It's surprisingly fast, considering the virtualization in between, and the
age
of the
laptop.
