We've tested the FM8 client under Rosetta on a MacBook Pro, and if anything
it seems slightly faster than the old G4 PowerBook. However, we haven't
tested any other configurations. I'd imagine that performance would be
similar across the product line. Since the WPE is largely Java-based, its
performance would be down to how the JRE runs under Rosetta, or whether
there's a universal binary JRE available.
