As ARM core is quite fast in N8x0, probably it would make sense to try keeping DSP out of the way whenever possible (restrict it to 133MHz only, keep DSP tasks which are fast enough to run at this frequency, port all the other DSP tasks to ARM)? That is unless improvements to support more

It is interesting if it is possible to lock ARM/DSP frequency at 400/166 instead of 330/220 when playing video. That would probably improve built-in player performance on some heavy bitrate/resolution videos. Would this be possible then? What knocks the CPU speed down when the DSP is used
