    Emulation is almost always slower and eats more battery.

    FTFY. There have been some cases where emulation actually outperforms native execution, though these might be, “the exceptions that prove the rule.” For example, in the early days of World of Warcraft, it actually ran better on WINE on Linux than natively on Windows.

      WINE literally stands for “WINE Is Not an Emulator”.
