I live for bogomips!Bogomips have been deprecated for some time now and dropped completely from ARM kernel. The kernel now does hardware timing from turn on AIUI.Is it 4* faster than the 1? If so it brings it from the realm of toy to the realm of useful piece of kit! My definition here is running a decent music synth without glitches -think basic musescore playing brandenburg concerto without glitches!It's more than 4x faster. Standard benchmarks put it closer to 6x faster - my own quick compile test put it 9x faster... The memory is faster as well as the cpu clock @ 900Mhz Gordon
