> The Bochs Project released version 2.3.6 on 24 December 2007.
> More than 25% emulation speedup vs Bochs 2.3.5 release!
> Up to 40% speedup vs Bochs 2.3.5 release with trace cache optimization!
> Lots of bugfixes in CPU emulation

Looks promising ... but doesn't really work

[++] No compatibility break with HX - still loads and runs
[+?] Can no longer reproduce the "EIP=0 bug" , while it still "works" on 2.3.0 - fixed (one of the "many fixes in CPU") ?
[-?] My HD images are no longer recognized (they are still fine for BOCHS 2.3.0 and QEMU 0.9.0)
[-?] Got 40% slowdown, not speedup compared to 2.3.0 (PKZIP 2.50 -exx on HDPMI32)
