I have to agree with this, like I said, 99% effects and maybe as much as 1% real work; we'd like it to do more; it could do a heck of a lot more than a higher spec processor, if it concentrated on the job.

However, when I say graphcsless, I mean to place to a minimum all of the animations and flash and graphics that appear. I would easily visualise a UI which borders, buttons and everything else are just placeholders with plain black and borders that don't load images. No background image, no transition animations, no stupid bouncing apps that go "hey I'm here" etc etc. This can free up ressources and reserve them for voice over itself.
