Nothing is emulated in Rosetta, but the graphics drivers for the new Intel Macs still suck. Same with the QuickTime performance.
The problem is not hardware related, but Apple still has to do a lot of homework on the software.
However, (universal) Doom 3 at 1024*768 with ULTRA details turned on does not run much slower on the 20" iMac Core Duo than it did on a Dual G5 2GHz with a 128 MB Radeon 9800 that I had here before the iMac. I currently only have 1 GB RAM in the iMac, which actually is the cause of the few slowdowns that I experience. The PowerMac had 1.5 GB RAM and no loading delays at all, but also a lower detail level due to the less VRAM.
(Universal) UT2004 runs like hell at 1680*1050 with all details activated - I actually have never seen the game performing like that before.
Still, the entire system could perform much better if Apple would optimize the software as much as they did it for the PowerPC systems. Which, in the end, they will. Right now we are suffering through the typical early adaptor phase...
