If the latter is true and not a subjective feeling, then it must mean that some of the changes of ITOS2008beta (like the increase in processor speed, for instance) may have survived the "flashback".
So, if true,
1) this should not happen and
2) what other stuff lurks in the unflashable depths of the Itablets? Is Nokia "pulling a Sony" on its users?

There is also the distinct possibility that the OP is deluded... I guess a freshly reflashed tablet could feel snappier than it was with the same OS image burdened with a few months' worth of apps, repos and libs. Hmm... sort of reminds me of that other OS, name of which escapes me ATM... :-)

I reckon it's subjective and not really quicker. The speed limiting of OS2007 is part of the kernel, isn't it? And you can easily verify that has been downgraded by doing a "uname -a" in xterm. Even the bogomips rating is kind of useless. I've often done "something" to my PC that is supposed to make it "faster" and for a few minutes it does feel quicker... but then I realise it isn't and it's all my own perception.

Also, I think "expanding" known Windows behaviour to a Linux distribution is a bit stretching. My Itablet is steadily progressing to the 200 day mark without reboot and sluggishness is definitely not one of its traits. Linux treats memory (real and virtual) vastly differently from Windows.

Actually, on the point of subjective impressions it's kinda weird the OP would experience an increased snappiness of his retrofitted Itablet. One would expect it would have felt more sluggish after the fantabulous speed of ITOS2008.
No?
