I'd think a single-CPU machine would make it even more of a problem.
On a multiprocessor, the emulation can (whether explicitly or not) give
each emulated CPU its own real CPU, so the emulated cores _are_ all
executing at the same time.  But on a single-CPU machine, the closest
you're likely to get is for the emulation to alternate between cores.
