Perhaps in a modern PDA. But the Mobipocket reader (for example) was designed at a time when the processor in a PDA was a 16MHz or 32MHz processor. Not the 200MHz or 400MHz processors in dedicated ebook readers.

There's a /lot/ more processor power available now than there was. It just isn't being used properly.
