My suspicion for " little bits of pieces left behind from the previous flash" was mainly due to the duplicate processes, which sevo has already explained that it is normal.

My other suspicions were from reading other people's complaints of their device not performing the way they used to even after clean reflash. Slow browsing and all.

Then there are complaints of background processes which are silently draining battery while off or idle.

Then this thread, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=118288

And whole bunch of other little threads saying flashing aint helping.



Then I found out about the duplicate processes on MY device and I've been experiencing slowless in OS2008 compared to OS2007 possibly due to the multiple duplicate processes. I was convinced that flash does not erase things properly.

Now that sevo has cleared things up, I guess I was paranoid. So flash should be doing what it's supposed to. Unless someone pops up and says otherwise.
