I know I'd seen something like this before, thanks for reminding me. There are several issues with PearColator/RVM: - It's written in java. qemu is written in C, so a lot of porting would be required to get anything working. - The best benchmark results are half the speed of qemu, and ten times slower appears to be a more typical result. - I can't see an any way of doing an incremental transition. My code generator coexists with dyngen, allowing a gentle migration away from dyngen.
