> For G5 there has to be a fix applied so the JIT will be working.
I think the JIT is already working on G5, just that some instructions might not suit the G5 too well and are thus executed rather slowly.
http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/search/label/ppc970 has more information on general instructional differences between G5 and G3/G4.
Edit:
"
“Mcrxr” is toxic on G5 cpu's, so I looked for it in EUAE, and there are few references too it, maybe this what causing slow down?"

"
sysinfo indicates about 85mips on a 2.3 GHz G5, which is rather ok (it's a private build that doesn't try to use the slow mcrxr instruction). [...] The released OS4 build is not "optimal" for G5 or PA6. It performs horribly when the mcrxr instruction is used."

"
G5 needs a special version, which was compiled using a define. One of the PPC instructions is not availavle on G5, so it triggers an exception and it is handled by the OS."
