That is correct. If I did not touch anything, a clock count down from 29 to 0 and internal flash booted. But if I pressed the down arrow key to hi light the MMC2 boot up, but not pressing the center button, the clock count disappear and the menu stays on screen till I press the central button and booting start. I thought befor the patch, I would shift the hi light to MMC2 booting, and even if I did not press the central button, clock continue to count down and finish with MMC2 booting as mmc2 is now being hi light. I just try to convince myself that I did flash the patch and a change did occur, it is not important.

As for speed, did you actually measure something or just looked at the blue bar? The bar is probably calibrated for N800 so it is too optimistic in both cases. Try to measure real time till system boots completely. Also dd test is best for testing raw card speed, seach forum for 'dd if=/dev/mmcblk0'.

Yes, I did measure the time as I have reported in the past. I actually clocked the time to boot up and boot down, and 1st inet web page show up and 2nd inet page show up, and gnumeric spreadsheet recalc etc, they showed no difference. Again, I mentioned the blue progress bar just to show if anybody observe similar behavior, that will convince me the patch was flashed correctly.
And yes, I also clocked the same behavior on 2006OS MMC 1G system patch and no patch. OMG, it is flying at least 2X faster on webpage loading, again, initial loading is more dramatic than subsequent loading. So does gnumeric sheet is also faster, and mplayer loading 500 songs cut from 67s down to 31s. these are all measured against my prev post, ave of 3 trials. But............I dont use 2006OS! I have been using 2007He since the new 2007He release. I went back to 2006OS occasionally in the past, if I have to use some video stuff and since then I have learned how to do with videocenter/mplayer/media player, and have no intention of booting 2006OS.
Mil's comment about whether it is compatible with MMCplus patch is a thought. plan:
try to measure the dd if=. If it turns out to be no improvement, I am thinking to reflash the 2007He and reclone the 2007He 2G and then, of course re-patch the MMC. What really really piss me off, if the result remains the same, I would SCREAM. well, we'll see........ thanks Mil and Fanoush the quick response. Today is Saturday, I am having with videocentere hacking, will readdress the issue when I am bored.
I have attached the spreadsheet clocking of all 4 OS, the 2007He flash, 2007He MMC, 2007He MMC with MMCplus patch, and 2006 flash, 2006 MMC and 2006 MMC with patch.
