ha. Well, performance has a bit of a megahertz myth surrounding it. For something like nanonote or milkymist, I think better to think about how we could optimize software for these devices. In particular, I would be curious from the smarter people than me how we could optimize the ben towards web browsing and same for the milkymist. For me, the most important operation these devices could do is make webpages load and render fast. How can we do this? Is this a worthy goal? If we have something like webkit running, we can get a lot of simple applications working with html5+css+js, boom!
