There will be a time when speed number comes to play and can't be avoided. Like for example, it is literally expected that a machine running at 100 mhz will not be able to run Playstation 4 games at speed of say 25 to 30 fps. This is just common sense. At that point you need to increase that number to Ghz for it work. We need to find which application/game can run on your current configuration so far and run it..now...you can port for example a playstation 4 game and target this to WinUAE for example users, only because the emulator is running on a system of the same power as said Playstation 4 if not better.
Doesn't mean if it is running at 1 fps or 2 fps on real Amiga we should pull the plug. No. In fact, we should further developing dgen and any software or application that demand much power spec that our current configuration cannot give now only because hardware power is a growing entity. Eventually the hardware WILL catch up to that software and having the software ready now is better than wait until the hardware catch up and then port the software. You want to know why? Many reasons, for one you don't know when you will die, so the sooner the better. Second, you don't know what will happen in the community with life. For example, what if emufan stops in three month from now because he wants to retire or people like him or he quits the Amiga scene and no one will replace him in the future? So many things could come where such port may not be possible. Might as well port and perfect many ports now when things are hot and let the hardware grow slowly....blah blah blah blah...and so on and so on...
keeps talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking.....
