119, Re: Do you have any experience using a Crusoe based solution

Do you have any experience comparing your Crusoe based tablet with a Pentium III based tablet? I was under the impression that compiling Java would take at least twice as long on a Crusoe based system, based on benchmarks I've seen in the past. Then again, maybe that's an acceptable speed, given what you're building. Not much of a difference between 4 seconds and 8 seconds, is there?

I beg to differ. I use my TC1000 daily as my primary computer. I develop software
on it using JBuilder and Visual Studio and I never ever have any performance
problems (never ever)

LOL. Not just "never" but "never ever". And you just had to say it twice.

The ability of the human (especially male) mind to rationalize bad gaget buying
decisions is simply amazing. Combine that with a positive outcome based self-
selecting sampling process common on the net and I bet we won't hear from
any individuals who find it disagreeably slow regardless of how many now sit
on closet shelves.

By any chance are you also a TMTA investor? IIRC I have seen your name
on the TMTA thread.

Pardon me if I ignore anonymous personal testimonials about subjective speed
and instead consider the limited range of independent benchmarking performed
and published to date. I think that a lot more needs to be done in this area but
the results to date hasn't been exactly kind to TMTA's "software based processor".
