I was excited for this because I thought it'd enable me to compile my HDL projects on my MacBook, since I'm targeting the Xilinx XC9500XL series of CPLDs this requires some an EOL design suite.
Anyway, build times are:
4 minutes with Rosetta 2
11 minutes with qemu-user-static
Whereas it only takes 20 seconds on my early 2013 MacBook Pro.
I think it would also be nice if it were possible to use this with other hypervisors. I believe it is limited to virtualization.framework so it cannot be used inside fusion for instance
