What's the best alpha emulator to go with?

AlphaVM-free from Emu/VM.   Runs under Linux.   Artem recently made updates
to it at my request to allow use of the Linux bridge and tunnel devices
to make a self-contained Xwindows accessible instance running on Linux.
It's now like having a portable Alpha!   I've also successfully clustered
my 17" HP ENvy running AlphaVM-free.   Had to use wired-ehternet.   Bridge
and tunnel would not play nicely with the wireless ethernet

Now if only it didnt appear to constantly use 100% CPU. ;)

AlphaVM-free appears to use less than 20% on my Envy.   Are you running the 
latest build 1.2.2???   Try 1.1.11.   That's what I've been running and it's
not consuming much CPU at all.

No matter the version top/htop always shows 100% CPU. What distro are you using?
