Well during 8.04 Intel pushed heavily to have special compile flags added just for new Atom based CPUs. This is what lpia is, it's x86 but with some special instructions that where supposed to just be in Atom based CPUs. This apparently did not pan out and the speed benefit was not seen.
So since Ubuntu Netbook Remix was targeted for Atom based CPUs. The first version (maybe even 9.04) used lpia. With lack of clear benefit and consequences ,with issues such as this, is why the I hear things have moved back to just being i386 for UNR 9.10 (maybe 9.04 .. need to verify that).
