Watching a lot of videos about Openmoko and the GUI I saw that it is
very slow and yards away from being "snappy". (regarding the application
startup and the acting inside an application) I know that speed is not
the priority thing in developement at the moment but how fast and
"snappy" can the Openmoko GUI using GTK get?
I think this will improve with the new faster CPU.
Seeing the difference between the Nokia 770 and the Nokia 800 (faster
CPU), this will make a great difference. Especially considerung that
OpenMoKo and Maemo use very much the same technology.
But you are right at some point.
Having a true multitasking os with memory management and the like and a
display abstraction layer like X servers is completely different from
dump devices like (old) palm with neither of them. *g*
And as you said. The sofware is not optimised yet.
I would say the device has enough horse power and most important enough
RAM to run smoothly eventually.
