Here's a new version of Easy Debian that includes icons for setting the CPU to "performance" and "on-demand" mode.

easy-deb-chroot-0.9-11_armel.deb

Using this version on a stock Diablo N800, and the Easy Debian image file (this is important! not using a partition or anything, just the image file!), with performance mode turned on and the chroot already open, a first run of Open Office only takes 100 seconds (1:40) to a usable blank document. Wow. We've moved from the realm of "cute circus trick" to "usable handheld laptop" ....
