The iLiad runs on a 400 mhz ARM which should be the same that is in tons of PDAs (ipaqs, sharp ++), and it should be able to provide vastly better performance. This is however a problem with two things: 1 - the software is badly written. For example, opening a PDF, ipdf must first be loaded, it then has to read the file, then render the page, then do a screen refresh (1 second). Saving render-state on close, load the last page (as a picture) etc would make this faster, but is more difficult. The Content lister for is another GREAT example. Show *6* files without even having any decent information about them except size, should NOT take more than the 1 second screen refresh. 2: The screen is slow. It will take a whole second to update. This means that the minimum time you could theoretically see is 1 second after any button press.
