Dunno how their Java implementation runs. I do know that the TinyX
implementation is VERY fast on the machine, as fast or faster than the
old style frame buffer implementations.

So when I played with PocketLinux, it felt glacial to me (sort of like WinCE's
lame performance); about the way a lame frame buffer implementation would
work.

I'll be getting some full performance numbers sometime soon for
the iPAQ's X performance.
