So close to zero its a never mind.  Modern pc's have multicore cpu's running 
at 2Ghz and up.  The pc would have to have either a motorola 6809 for a cpu, 
or a Hitachi 6309 in order to speak the language. which is faster at 
exec'ing the code, and in the case of the 6309 can be obtained in a 4Mhz 
grade.  1.79 Mhz cpu core against a 4 core 2.1 Ghz cpu?, that is a snail 
trying to outrun a rifle bullet.

Any of the emulators on a modern pc can run the emulation considerably 
faster than the 6309 equipt coco can run it natively.  The emulator IIRC has 
slowdowns so that the speeds are similar.  They may be disable-able.
