HP2000/Access - (hpemu clarification)

Why should the real hardware necessarily outperform it? With
processors getting faster and faster,
I wouldn't be surprised if an emulated hp2000 runs rings around the real h/w.

It's too bad the emulator doesn't have the blinky lights and the
presence of a real hp2k though.
