The chip is quite fast, as it is attached directly on top of the CPU and has a much faster interconnect. Applications that are part of the core OS and data stored on the root partition will be read significantly faster. The caveat to this is the chip is very low capacity.

By contrast, the 32GB eMMC gets about 14MB/s and my microSD card gets about 6MB/s. High capacity, but comparatively low speed.

Knewter: best of luck getting ruby-hildon to behave, I couldn't work out what the Makefile was trying to do. It looked like it belonged in some other suite or something.
