The quemo in this setup emulates the whole phone.

If you only want to see how the software works, check out Xoo.
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Host-based_development_with_Xoo_and_Xephyr
Surely, some hardware depended things will not work, but it will be faster.
Depends on what you want...

Qemu was always a tool to emulate the phone and not to evaluate any 
software in realtime speed.
There where times where only a emulator existed for the Neo, no 
hardware. This was when the qemu setup came up.

PS: I never tested Xoo. I trust the wiki howto works.
