A lot of confusions here.
First of all, FreeMiNT as in the kernel isn't much faster than before. What has happened is that XaAES has moved into a kernel module, and there's where the speed has kicked in.
About XaAES and EasyMiNT: Only the latest update of EasyMiNT has a recent XaAES and a recent kernel. Older EasyMiNT will have a really really outdated XaAES bundled which is heaps slower.
The reason why Damion got 40 column terminal is that he has not cofigured his Falcon to boot in 80 columns. That's done in NVRAM.
And to answer the initial question, MiNT on emulator.
Get Aranym (http://aranym.atari.org/). It's by far the best alternative if you want FreeMiNT and not play ST games or demos.
