IIRC, Rosetta (1) did real-time instruction translation every time you ran the app.  Rosetta (2) does the translation ONCE and stores some kind of translated binary on the filesystem.  

This allows for Rosetta (2) to run apps much quicker once the translation has happened.

Not 100% sure of this, but I thought I read/saw that somewhere when the M1 came out.
