It hits at least 80% most of the time.  Didn't say it was fast just that 
it worked.  :-)

More ram will likely help it respond quicker but probably not help the 
CPU problem.  One thing I've been trying to deal with though is I get 
DUP packets on the PCI network card I've dedicated to simh.  The system 
is an old NetBSD 4.0 box with a custom kernel so I'm hoping that it's 
just an issue with building simh using old libraries or something.
