It's funny... Bush2000 making statements about something he has never done...
Actually, the experience is that most "classic" software runs BETTER in the emulation mode than it did on a native OS9- system.
Haven't we explained this to you before? Classic is OS 9 running inside of OS X -- not emulated, just running. If you think back a few years, it's almost like how you could run 16-bit apps in Windows 95, they're not emulated, but run in their own separate space with a 16-bit layer.
As far as performance goes, the OS 9 environment gets to take advantage of the superior OS X memory management (it's modified to do so when used in Classic), so applications run faster in Classic than in a machine booted straight into OS 9, which would be using only its own crappy memory management.
