[Coco] FPGA vs. Emulation Speed

[Frank Swygert]

Speed isn't the real issue. I made the comment that the FPGA version 
would be the limiting factor in some areas because of various hardware 
limitations. Speed wasn't one of the things I was referring to. Might 
just be what the developers are capable of doing skill wise. There are 
limits to memory and how much one can put into an FPGA, and limits of 
the board design. In software emulation those limits can easily be 
exceeded in most cases.

A few comments on the list seemed to say that if a project supported 
both emulaltors and
FPGA, the FPGA's performance would limit the capabilities of this
proposed coco 4. This seems unlikely.
