Well Dave, I think the comparison is not fair. I think you're trying to compare the speed of a Formula 1 and a Mercedes-Benz. Obviously de Formula 1 (Polymer) is faster than a Mercedes-Benz (Modest) because it has been specially designed for it, but in a Mercedes-Benz you have a lot more facilities and will probably win the comparison in another subjects like comfort. Take into account that Modest has a lot of code to manage UI things that slow down the device like dimming buttons, sorting and filtering of tree models, etc... I haven't analyzed seriously Modest performance recently, but I bet most of the slowness is caused by such kind of things. Also bear in mind that tinymail and Camel use a lot of threads and the N800/N810 is not a device that could easily cope with that.
