Apple is switching to Intel from PowerPC processors and universal binary simply allows apps to run native on both arcs. This apps are optimized for both and the only downside is that the file sizes are about twice the size.

The wxWidgets/gtk apps I've used seem to work pretty well, so it might actually be possible to have a version easily portable to linux. I'm not able to do any development at the moment, but if you need a tester before releasing, I'm willing to mess around with it for a while on the little ibook. I wonder what kind of performance hit you are talking about using the "universal binary" mode? Anyway, thanks for the update.
Best,
Jim
