The thing is though, a 500mhz cpu should enough for a gb emulator.

But then take into consideration other things, like the memory. 32mb was it or something like that? That's not enough really to load the emulator into, then process the rom. Unless something becomes more open for the Zune, I don't think we'll see anything improved until the ZuneHD comes out with the tegra inside of it. Until then, the only option is to basically remake the game.
The Zune firmware currently only allows XNA programs to be run on it. The only reason the Zune does not run the NES emulator at a decent speed is because XNA (on the Zune) is horribly inefficient compared to native code. The current Zune are fully capable of running a native NES emulator at sufficient speed. The current Zunes have 64 MB of RAM.
