Are you insane?!? Sure it can Multitask. And yes it is faster. This is well documented and if you want to come over to my house I'll prove it you.
There is nothing about x86 architecture that inhibits multitasking. All you need is some timer exceptions in supervisor mode and that's it; time slicing! Big deal! The only reason Windows and Mac OS suck at multitasking is because the OS was never designed for it really. Linux on the other hand multitasks quite well (perhaps better then the Amiga) on x86. So, if you are suggesting that you can't multitask properly on the x86, you have no credibility what so ever. Same goes if you're claiming an emulator can't multitask. That's crazy!
