that still doesn't say a thing about how the code is executed.
both the host (winxp) and the target(freedos) is x86 code.
So vmware virtualizes the instructions. which is much faster.
it can be compared to the dynamic mode of dosbox (core=dynamic) of dosbox.
as you are no programmer how can you claim then that dosbox is unoptimised!
Remember that you needed a highend 486 to emulate a snes in asm (which runs at 3.87 Mhz)
so if you want to emulate a 33 mhz machine (with portable code) a 2 ghz machine is very reasonable requirement.
