No need to be sorry.  It is very important to hear that SableVM works
for you, especially, when somebody else has problems getting it to work
in similar environment.

I wonder, but is it even slower than expected, given the machine's CPU
speed? I.e. comparing to the executing the same task on x86 and then 
looking at the CPU speed difference.  Maybe GCC turns on FPU emulation
or something? (I don't think so). 

Thanks for an encouraging information :-)
