I would submit that the answer is actually "no". Accuracy would plummet due to the complexity of writing a Naomi emulation entirely in assembly, and if the same exact algorithms were used (e.g. an interpreter SH-4 core and a PowerVR drawing routine that piped each pixel through MAME's memory system) you would get identically absymal performance.
