X11R6 X-Server on Linux with 256MB DDR2 memory and 1GHz ARM Cortex A9MP/DC. And anything with a 3-5 second response time for user input is atrocious. Sub 1 second is the typical required response time which all tested x86 systems had no trouble beating even ancient ones. Silly question, but the network is identical too? Sounds very... odd, seeing as how an X session displaying a remotely hosted X app doesn't really do anything but relay input to the app, and process primitive rendering requests. Lag between sending a mouseclick event and updating a fraction of a 640x480 display is not going to be that CPU's fault. The latest gen ARM smartphones can do QuakeIII timedemos without breaking a sweat... See Samsung Galaxy S (Samsung Hummingbird w/1xARM Cortex A8): androidspin.com The next next-gen phones will have dual-core ARM A9, even more powerful 3d/vid-codec, etc. etc... I just don't see them lacking performance at all in the role of convenient-always-at-my-side-MID. fpg
