I have seen a PowerPoint presentation, running on XP, given to a LUG by one of 
the developers.  The speed was such that no-one realised that it was running 
under qemu until he closed down XP.  Maybe it's a hardware issue, or maybe 
there is tuning to be done.  I don't know.  What I do know is that it's the 
only time I have ever seen that audience burst into spontaneous applause.  It 
was truly impressive.
