According to the processor documentation it is ARMv5TE-compliant, and there's also a Dream Plug with ARMv5 mentioned on: http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware It is not the newest generation of ARM, so it would not be comparable to a recent tablet. This page discusses performance comparisons of ARM versus x86: http://vanshardware.com/2010/08/mirror-the-coming-war-arm-versus-x86/ ARM seems to perform slow with floating point, and Pd is all floating point. An Atom based computer might be better for Pd. I have no experience with ARM, but of Atom-based netbooks I know (also from experience) that Pd performs reasonably well under Debian. Roughly three times slower than a laptop, I would say.
