The Intel PXA250 has only 32K/32K of cache, which means that any real application will experience an extremely high cache miss rate. The memory bus is 16 or 32 bits, and has a maximum clock rate of 100 MHz. So, if you're running the maximum width bus at its maximum speed, you're likely to see an instruction dispatch rate of about 50~100 million ops/second. That's slow, and there's really nothing to be done short of adding much more cache.
Because I travel, and having a DVD player in my laptop (an Apple PowerBookTi) is just the sweetest thing in a hotel room in Elyria, OH where the only thing on TV is the local trash plus HBO re-runs.
$50 per month???? Personally, I wouldn't use a cell phone on a regualar basis for $50,000 per month. Why anyone would willingly put a microwave transmitter next to their brain is difficult for me to understand.
The F.B.I. has been spending shitloads of your money to get technically savvy. Does it surprise anyone that now that they're armed to the teeth with extraordinary powers and means that they'll come after any target that presents itself with both barrels blasting?
Meanwhile, it's no comfort to note that your elected officials and their opponents are at this very moment falling over each other to propose even more sweeping police powers and even more draconian punishments. If you thought that your white skin, your college education, or your economic status would save you from the prison industrial complex, guess again.
