Unofficial PearPC, the PPC emu for Windows, heres whats new:

  • CPU: stfiwx implemented
  • config: "ppc_start_fullscreen" for starting in fullscreen mode
  • POSIX: allow bridging of tun device
  • use FISTTP instruction on SSE3 aware processors
  • merged native_cd branch from Alexander Stockinger
  • endianess fixes
  • warn that the generic CPU is slow
  • better detection of HFS+ volumes
  • support for DVD-Drives
  • correctly check for NASM
  • Work-around for graphic errors in Mac OS X 10.1

Get from here from this site is news that some have had it running OSX faster than on native hardware I quote
'I am actually emulating OS X faster than some native machines can run it.
According to some mac "freaks", OS X's average installation time is a half an hour to an hour (usually closer to an hour) and I installed OS X Panther on my Athlon64 3200+ in 20 minutes. .4pre seems very stable and now also there is sound support. Although the sound is claimed to work, I have yet to get it to work. '

Yeah, and according to 99.9% of the comments on that very same site, it doesn't really count as being "faster than native hardware" if you're comparing the install time on an Athlon XP 3200+ to the install time on a... 300MHz G3 processor.
