In practice, they work just fine in the PC Emulator, where I tend to do all
of my first round testing for PocketPC.  I didn't mean to give any
impression that he could or should run them native on WinMe or Win2K.

You won't see important device performance differences in the emulator.  For
example, the cost to page in a 1K page on the iPAQ is approximately 0.2
milliseconds when the memory mapped file is located in the internal object
store, and approximately 1 millisecond when the file is located on a CF II
solid state storage card.  You won't see any of that in the PC Emulator.

Also, iterating through memory in byte order is 6 to 7 times faster on the
iPAQ than iterating over the same region of memory in page order.

Both of which imply that co-locality is really important to performance on
the iPAQ.

Absolutely!  Just didn't want to bore everyone with the birthing pains.  But
anyone who WANTS to see/help ...
