I haven't tried it in the chroot environment yet.. that surprises me though.. you would think it would be slower with the maemo overhead.

ETA: Maybe I'm just too impatient? But it took me a couple minutes for the default file manager Dolphin.. which is too long IMHO.. and then when I tried navigating it I just felt encumbered.. Obviously without real speed tests this would all be open to more peoples interpretations. Glad to see you liked it.
