Multiple layers.
I ran an experiment twice on a compaq preario with the first limitation at 256 megabytes and the second with 768 megabytes. In the first one, the first emulated layer worked quite well. I could boot a windows, freebsd, or linux image with no problem. A second emulated layer did not fair so well on any of the installations. I was able to get damnsmalllinux to work by using blackbox as the desktop manager. the setup was base: Fedora core 5, emulated 1: debian with blackbox, emulated 2: damnsmalllinux.
The second experiment worked better with unexpected results. Fedora core 5 was used as the base and pcbsd as the first emulated layer. I ran a copy of dsl and these were the results.
With the Kqemu module, the processor speed was 1991Mhz just 4MHz below the native speed. I installed Kqemu again on the emulated layer. Here are those results: The processor speed was rated at 2095 MHz. The image broke soon thereafter.
