Er, does that mean that I should be creating thumb versions of my various apps? I had kinda assumed that cpu-bound apps would benefit the most from thumb; but my apps are generally benign. (Even Orecchiette is mostly just a wrapper around calls to GStreamer, so it really depends on that library being recompiled for thumb.)

I guess I should try to put thumb onto one of my N900s too, then. I've never really pushed my N900s to the limit, so I've never really worried about it; I play podcasts, watch videos, and edit files in vim just fine without needing to mess with the OS.
