Or on some hardware more like a traditional home router, e.g. a PC Engines Alix, or Soekris. Either will give you a very powerful router that runs on only a few watts. The downside of these is they're (AFAIK) 100Mb only, and it's hard to find a suitable wireless-n card. I've found pfSense to be much more powerful and stable than DD-WRT.
pfSense 2.0 onwards will let you set any DHCP Number, Type, Value combination you want.
Nobody pays much attention to single-core performance anymore, and I have no idea why. There are tons of programs that people use on a regular basis that are single-core limited.
Have you seen the Bulldozer reviews? They've been hitting AMD over the head due to its poor single-thread performance (amongst other things...)
No, it's (mostly) Adobe only, using Flash for streaming (via RTMP) and AIR for downloaded programmes. The iPhone version uses HTTP streams.
get_iplayer is a nice script to download iplayer content a little more permanently.
