CPU & Memory(RAM & Offline Cache) usage is awful on the N900 simply because mozilla(small 'm' on purpose ) has optimized Fennec ONLY for Android. This is what makes Fennec slower when compared to MicroB - only in terms of page interactions-scrolling, loading, switching between tabs, etc.. ; scripts are already running smoothly( according to sunspider bench. 6000 ms. - my Fennec vs 21000 ms. - MicroB : 3.5 times faster!)

It will ALWAYS fail~! Simply because scratchbox's gcc is 4.2 and you need a lot newer to compile the new versions of Fennec (15+)
...So... the newer gcc is found in the thumb repositories and thus you can only build Fennec 15+ for CSSU Thumb
