Okay, i was curious myself about this, so here are some rough comparisons
for some basic single operations:

Notes:

a) pi is using an external USB 2.0 drive here because compiling anything on
a SD card is just too pokey.

b) These "f-xyz" calls are the libfossil CLI tools:

- f-acat rid:1
pi: 0.34s
laptop: 0.17s

- f-resolve trunk
pi: 0.77s
laptop: 0.13s

- f-zip tip foo.zip
pi: 29.99s (!!!)
laptop: 1.81s

That one is very RAM-hungry ('massif' says peak RAM of 11MB, total
allocated 175MB)

- f-vdiff current prev
pi: 0.29s
laptop: 0.16s


So, overall, the performance is actually much better than i might expect,
but some operations (those which need lots of memory) are likely to cause
swapping, which will slow it down notably.


Today i discovered the ODROID-U3 platform, kind of like a "super-pi," and
ordered one to play with. i'll post some numbers once that arrives (no idea
when that will be).
