JPC: java PC simulator

"JPC: Computer Virtualization in Java" sounds like a promising project (hat tip to /.). However, I'm not impressed after using the demo: the initial interactivity is good but on Java 1.5 after few seconds of playing the lag between input and output turns pretty much unusable (was playing Invader). There is probably some kind of garbage collection timing problem, I would assume since it hangs for a split second and then the image speeds up to real time and pauses or slows down. Not very useful for me (on 2.13 GHz Pentium M with 2GB of RAM).

I suppose newer 1.6* Java might help but still....
