It wouldn't be huge, no.
I guess we'd see a 10% improvement or so, if it worked out well.

pfff just 10% isn't worth the time.
Also i've never seen any game limited by the IOP side of emulation, so why fix something that is not broken?
Complicating things and more lines of code makes it easier for bugs to get in.

All that threading would be a nightmare.

ye that would it be xD
the emu itself kinda contains >60 threads!!...some are 2,3-times available...but dunno if they are all used...prolly not

some i found...

using the ppu only is the same performance as the wii ...thus making usage of the spu's + spu<->spu communication
improves wayyyy aloooot....also sony coded some parts in pure spu asm...

Its about as fast as a G5 1.6GHZ though looks like in some benchs its as slow as Broadway.

Well of course PCSX2 is better because the PS3 is simply not fast enough to emulate the PS2 in full software. However, if Sony were to make a PS2 emulator for the Windows platform, it'll probably be at least as good as pcsx2.

Gotta say this:
Even Sony corp needs awesome coders to pull off PS2 emulation on PC.
It would take them quite some time and effort to do it.

If they can get a works with some games emu written in Cell assembly working on the PS3 writing one for a PC thats at least 2x as fast in C is probably a walk in the park.

Are the PCSX2 Dev's considering taking on that challenge?
