I got a Cybook for a relative for last Christmas - it's a 400MHz-model too!

How can you tell the processor speed?

The post-796 versions of the Gen3's firmware display the CPU speed in the "About" box.

No, they do not. 802 does not display it. I think 820 is the first one that do it.

The post was not on mobileread, see Bookeen and PocketBook in possible legal dispute over 5" model.

It's true, that it's not shown in the about box - but even though I generally am an optimist, I doubt, that the (directly compaired) drastically decreased startup-time and increased dictionary-lookup-performance is due to the improved firmware (798 -> 802).

So maybe the only thing the new so long awaited update will do is overclock the old CPU's from 200 to 400MHz and everybody will be impressed by the inreased speed

True, but cutting dictionary-lookup-time in half might require a little bit of magic too

It would be very good. Improving access to the menu-lookup dictionary.

I'm not sure that bookeen could do something about this, it seems to be a feature of the Mobipocket Reader application that Bookeen use for mobi files and I don't think that Bookeen have the right and the possibility to change this part of the reader...
