Bochs is a true emulator, as opposed to vmware for example, since it
literally emulates every x86 instruction, as opposed to passing some
instructions to the cpu, which is what
vmware/virtual-pc/birtualbox/qemu do. If you found vmware to be slow,
you'll find bochs to be lots, and I do mean lots slower. Bochs is good
for scenarios where you want to run for example windows xp on a Sun
spark, or something that is not based on the x86/x64 architecture.
