The context of this was making primitive VMS boot as a guest of a VM to
help VSI engineers get it to boot to the DIR command.

We're not talking about getting VMS to run the space shuttle control
system during a launch under a VM that also runs Windows with users
playing video games.

In fact, when you debug primitive code, you probably want it to run very
slowly and (maybe) have the ability to stop it midway so debugging tools
can be used to look at memory etc,
