Most PoPC emus are not realyl heavily optimized like on the smaller platforms (like GP32), but they tend to be fast enough due to higher speed processors (624MHz goes a long way, even when you dont' have direct framebuffer access etc

Thats correct. For the sake of battery life it certainly would be better to optimize more, but its questionable if someone bothers doing this. I certainly would not if it runs "fast enough".

I may bring my version of CaSTaway over to Pocket PC, or merge in some of my changes to CastCE if his recent sources can be gotten

Thats a good start to make yourself familiar with the PPC platfrom and the OS. In gereral i found programming for PPC always more comfortable than for PalmOS.
It certainly depends of how many OS specifics you have in CasteCE, as i found one does man things different with PalmOS (ie. memory allocation) compared to ANSI C/C++.

ps. There is another DOS emulator called PockedDOS. It only emulates real mode CPUs (ie. 8086,8088,80186, 80286 real mode) but it is much faster than DOSBox. You can even play action games like "Another World","Zool" or "Turbo Outrun" with it.
