I don't know any exact list.

But I think Hatari should have as much default setting as possible that 
match real hardware (so, no fast boot, as little tos patching as 
possible, default to CE mode, default to nSpec512Threshold=1, ...) to 
get best possible results out of the box.

Then we can describe possible options that the user can set to speed up 
things or decrease cpu ressources and everyone can decide to change 
settings based on his own experience.
