And that's equally true of MAME.

What? Compiling from C++ produces an .exe file. mame.exe, demul.exe, supermodel.exe.
Here's the magic experiment I always tell people: load Demul and set it to use the interpreter CPU (MAME currently uses an interpreter for the SH-4). You will then get the same performance as MAME. Algorithms trump implementation details, every single time.
