what will you use the speed increase for? are you going to draw some stuff using gnuplot? or execute some shell scripts? en/decrypt some stuff?

I'm just saying, because much of the multimedia stuff (audio/video decoding, 3d) isn't executed on the ARM core, but instead using C64x DSP and/or PowerVR chips - thus the increased CPU speed might not be as useful as you might think (for multimedia stuff, the CPU is probably slower by order or two, compared to specialized processors - so it wouldn't help to "reroute" calculations)
