ROAM copies the ROM into RAM, and then causes the ROM memory to be
accessed from the RAM based copy instead of from the actual ROM DIMM.
This can possibly speed up Power Macintoshes that do not already map
ROM into RAM.

Interestingly, this control panel/extension loads in SheepShaver.

The benchmark pictured is from a SheepShaver configuration using an
old world ROM.

Everything using PPC code (including the Mac OS) is way snappier.

The downside is that 68k emulation is slower, but for that purpose,
you could always use minivmac or Basilisk II...
