Desmume and Drastic are vastly different emulators even though they both use software rendering. If you run Desmume through Retroarch on Android, it's also very slow. But I still agree with your point about emulators on Android being faster than your netbook.

Netbooks are very limited and only really useful for mostly web browsing and not much else especially anything graphically intensive.

All modern phones have some type of video subsystem on the chip. Much in the same vein as integrated video cards exists on desktop/laptop systems. If phones didn't, then everything would run in software and we wouldn't get OpenGLes for PPSSPP.

The technologies in modern phones and desktop/laptop computing are not as divergent. In fact, Nvidia's next Tegra5 mobile chip is basically their current generation video card on desktops.
