@Radio Shack Jim: Yes I update the top message to hold the latest releases of sxgo, the python module and the sources. You're more than welcome to try them out, I'd really appreciate any comments/suggestions that you have.

@Bean: I kid you not :-) There are some caveats:
[list]
* The 50Mhz (actually I'm measuring more like 75Mhz lately) in the UI version (sxgo) is measured without measuring the time a UI update takes. Currently sxgo runs 10_000 clock ticks (at a speed of approx 75Mhz) and then spends some unknown amount of time updating the UI before running the next 10_000.
  however: I'm working on an version that allows the UI to be updated in parallel with the executing emulator on multi-core/processor machines.
* The python implementation does run at full speed until either a breakpoint or a ram watchpoint is hit. So the python version of the emulator runs normally at full speed until it has to go back to python for some reason.
[/list]
I've also created an improved version of the emulator that runs at 105 Mhz on a 2.4Ghz linux machine. Alas, this "improvement" slows down the windows version considerably (to about 40Mhz). The improvement is reached by pre-compiling all instructions into a format that the emulator can run more quickly.
