1003    <p>Known bugs/problems:

1006            <li>There is a long delay when starting up NetBSD/netwinder
1007                    (several seconds even on a very fast host machine),
1008                    so you need to be patient.
1009            <li>There is a minor bug in the keyboard device, so you need to
1010                    press a key (any key) before typing wd0c.
1011            <li>When halting/rebooting NetBSD/netwinder, the emulator
1012                    prints a message saying something about an internal
1013                    error. This doesn't matter; ignore the message.

 <p><i>"QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator"</i> according to <a  
 href="http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html">http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html</a>.  
 Sometimes QEMU is faster than GXemul, sometimes it is the other way  
 around. A quick (and quite unfair) test on my laptop (1.8 GHz Turion ML32,  
 I think, in AMD64 mode) comparing QEMU 0.8.1 installed as a binary package  
 from FreeBSD ports with GXemul gave the following result:  
   
 <p><pre>  
         <b>while true; do ls -l > /dev/null; echo -n .; done</b>  
         (80 x 36 dots)  
         QEMU 0.8.1:       13 min 48 sec  
         GXemul 20060711:   7 min 54 sec  
         GXemul 0.4.1:      4 min 59 sec  
   
         <b>while true; do /usr/bin/md5sum /usr/bin/* > /dev/null; echo -n .; done</b>  
         (80 dots)  
         QEMU 0.8.1:        2 min  9 sec  
         GXemul 20060711:   8 min 49 sec  
         GXemul 0.4.1:      6 min 54 sec  
   
         <b>while true; do grep hej lib/libtextwrap.so.1 > /dev/null; echo -n .; done</b>  
         (80 dots)  
         QEMU 0.8.1:       10 min  5 sec  
         GXemul 20060711:   3 min  8 sec  
         GXemul 0.4.1:      1 min 42 sec  
 </pre>  
   
 <p>The commands were run inside the emulators, using the ramdisk kernel  
 mentioned above. (For GXemul, 2006-07-11 was the date when the QEMU_MIPS  
 mode was added. Performance has since gotten a bit better in general, for  
 non-R3000 MIPS emulation.)
