You are right.
But FX!32 isn't an emulator. When FX!32 is starting an application, it is transforming Intel code. In the first step, it emulates some programm parts, but while it runs, it transforms the application an produces native alpha code. And when the programm pointer comes the next time along his way, he is executing native alpha code !

Thought this is never as fast as native applications on alpha, but real-world experiences show as well, that NT is horrible slow on alpha, even it is in native code, due to the fact, that it is a 32bit OS.

regards, and excuse my broken english
