Making a stable hackintosh isn't as simple as grabbing any box and following a few steps. Oftentimes you're still stuck with a particular hardware config. Even the guys and gals over at OSx86 have a recommended HCL database. I built one and was not impressed.

Running emulators (VMware, Pear PC, et al) is not a panacea to installing OSX and having it run properly.

The point still remains, you can take osx, put it on a normal pc, and the machine will bootup and down, at the same rate as a Mac box - or damn close to it.

The speed at which the OS actually performs, wasn't brought into question. I expect issues with installing an off OS onto a PC. Even linux does it, from one box to the next, it's a different setup all the time. That stuff is just expected.
