Thanks Milhouse...I've done some more testing and the info is strictly apocryphal but it does seem that mplayer runs smoother!

Am confused. In executing the referenced wiki instructions for flashing this kernel, should I be using the sdhc kernel (which I've done) or substituted the mmc kernel? What's the difference?

The latests/greatest/fastest kernel for the N800 as of this date is the kernel referenced in the first post of this thread... the patch author chose to name the new kernel mmc-* whereas before he used the sdhc-* prefix... no big deal, as this patch fixes up both SD and MMC support.

Follow the wiki instructions but use the new filename (mmc-kernel-4.2007.26.bin) wherever it mentions the old filename (sdhc-kernel-3.2007.10.bin).

What's the difference? mmc-kernel-4.2007.26.bin supports the latest Nokia kernel, while sdhc-kernel-3.2007.10.bin supports the kernel from the previous Nokia 3.2007 firmware release - the SD/MMC support is the same in both files, but if you installed sdhc-kernel-3.2007.10.bin you will be missing all the recent kernel bug fixes and improvements introduced with the 4.2007.26-8 Nokia firmware release.

Milhouse: Thanks for the clarification (and advice). I've re-flashed with the mmc kernel.
