The nominal speed of the card is merely that of the real card being emulated - in the emulated version, there's no serial pipe to get the bits through (just in-memory copies/moves) and the actual throughput will be whatever the chain of bits can push through it. That's certainly the case with Xen which (AIUI) uses Qemu for the I/O stuff.
