The first part is true. The second part is dead wrong. have you seen Steve Jobs running Photoshop through Rosetta on the Intel iMac? The performance of Rosetta is closer to a 1 GHz G4 than a Power Mac. The trick is most apps aren't as intensive as Photoshop, so you don't see as much of a difference. Office, for example, runs well (though not perfectly; the scroll icon couldn't keep up with the mouse cursor in the Stevenote).
