When I visit the mobile version of this Chinese newspaper (URL tester page below), I find that I always see checker board after scrolling down about 2 pages. Obviously, the browser is working hard to render the web page all these true-type chinese fonts. Initially I thought it's fine for very lengthy page.

But considering the page is very light-weight and optimized for mobile, I begin to wonder whether it's a browser performance issue that I should 1) report in this maemo forum and let people aware or 2) accept this is a cpu-intensive operation and keep my fingers cross when viewing these sites. Anyone?

I did a small experiment and send exactly the same web page content to my gmail account for reading in Modest email client. I scroll all the way down and all contents are displayed properly without any delay. This makes me to think it's more a browser issue.

It may be a combination of the difficulty in displaying chinese fonts and the low processing power of the device (remember this is nothing like even the lamest desktop in terms of performance)

Hey, this is definitely off-topic but have you found (if you even looked for) a way to get an offline english=>pinyin dictionary on to the N900. 我是外国人,现在住在温州。

sorry, I don't have a solution.

Regarding the checkerboard problem, it's now gone with PR1.1 update! I am very satisfied.
