Maybe try PrBoom? IIRC that's what Rockbox's Doom port is based on, and
that runs on MP3 players with 40 or 50MHz ARM CPUs.

AFAIK, Freedoom is just a BSD-licensed IWAD (i.e. game content) that can be
used instead of the proprietary IWAD with any number of source ports of the
Doom engine. And since these source ports vary widely in the number of
additional features and capabilities bolted on, it may be a question of
which source port you're using.

I haven't messed with Doom on anything below 1GHz for some years, so I
don't have any specific recommendations for lightweight/efficient source
ports, but you might try several and see if it makes a difference.

Correct. I don't know why I just said "Freedoom". I've tried Freedoom with 
Vavoom and something called "Chocolate Doom" and was rather disappointed... 
maybe I should pick up the search again.
