From there, an instruction will take anywhere from 0 to, well, lots of
additional cycles. Generally, however, it will take under 50, for 92
-total. In the worst reasonable case, a 4 cycle instruction emlulated
+total. In the worst reasonable case, a 4 cycle instruction emulated
in 92 cycles, that's a 23:1 ratio. In the best possible case, a
17-cycle instruction emulated in 42 cycles, is more nearly a 1:2
ratio.
