From what I've heard direct from a Jolla enginner:
1. Sailfish is lean. They had it running on a Raspberry Pi.
2. Porting Sailfish to the N9 will be difficult because of its closed hardware. The N900 is comparatively open and better understood. Only the GPU is closed.
I dare say it will be ported to the sold-at-cost Nexus 7 either way.
And presumably ACL will be closed source.

but smoothness aside, maemo5 is just smarter! more capable.
of course I haven't seen a sailfish device in person. i just speculate.
