Sorry in advance that I can't offer a solution.  Also, I suppose you can't
benchmark something that won't run, but it might be better (if you care about
speed) to run it natively by compiling the unix version yourself.  I found this
very simple to do, and it looks like Rosetta performance is about 50% that of
native performance.  I'm no expert on this, but only took a quick look at the
following:

I could be completely wrong about performance, but this seems reasonable, even
pretty good.
