Yes definitely better, but I think there's enough space for more 
accurate explanation.

Nicolas, what you would think of:
----------------------------------
CPU emulation parameters

[x] prefetch emulation (uses more host CPU)
[x] cycle-exact / cache emulation (can use much more host CPU)
[x] MMU emulation
[x] 24-bit addressing
[x] accurate FPU emulation (uses more host CPU)
----------------------------------
