How can you improve perf if you have a guest OS/program running on SPARC and your host is x86? Maybe I’m not understanding it correctly, but don’t you have to translate all the registers and instructions from SPARC to x86? How would you run SPARC code natively on x86?

V8 the JavaScript runtime, not SPARC V8. It turns out I was wrong about that part too.
