On x86-64 Linux, there are two options for running 32-bit applications: one can be built into the kernel itself via the option CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION (normally on for most kernels), and the other is qemu-i386. What are the differences? Can qemu-i386 run near native performance – it is more like native, or is it more like a JIT recompiler?
