I think I will hold off my N800 purchase in favor of the N810 as I'm thinking that maybe the faster processor may offset any performance deficiencies of TiEmu on the N-series.
I'd get the N810 anyway, but the extra speed won't make much difference.

This is, of course, assuming I'll be able to successfully build it for the N810 in the first place.
It's not too bad to build, I've got it sat here in front of me - I should do a proper debian build though as the only hand crafted .deb I had was lost on one of my SD cards. Give me a shout once you have an N810 and a build system setup if you need any help.

It still strikes me as a waste of resources though, there are decent symbolic algebra programs out there (e.g. yacas, maxima) and there are ways to do graphing - it's just combining the two in a nice package.

Also take a look at xcas/giac - I've built this but the binary segfaults for some reason. I'll give it a go with Chinook when I get my N810/N800 upgrade and see if things have changed.
