Ouf the 65 I count out of these I count 28 games that are easily playable in a 2.4 Ghz system. (and I only counted games I was sure off so I may have missed a few) This is far from 90%.

That's the problem...you included clones. If you don't include them, it's about 90%,

*sigh* fine, if you want to get into semantics, then it's about 70% non-playable. But that's still a very significant number!

They are slow because they use powerful CPUs and or powerfule graphic cards that need to be emulated and the fact that they are use CHDs is kind of incidental and has nothing to do with the games being slow.

I never said this was the reason. What I'm getting at is that most of these games aren't playable, so having them on your drive is a massive waste of space. VaporTRX, for example, is 1.3G.
There are other games that are unplayable, but having them on your drive doesn't take up nearly as much space.
