How bad is it that Windows 98, running in a ^%%^@#!ing emulator, in my browser no less, runs better than the latest versions of Android OR iOS?

I'm on a beefy 12-core 'nix box with 64 GB of RAM, and this emulator is extremely sluggish for me.

Perhaps because it doesn't run well for everyone?

uhh it doesn't? Maybe it runs way better than the android or iOS emulators but you have to have a pretty messed up install of recent Android to make it run as slow as this.
