Thanks. But performance is not my primary concern or I wouldn't have 
chosen a system consisting of low-performance components ;-) (the 
CompactFlash card is only one example; others include the 500MHz Geode 
CPU, Via Rhine NICs, a tiny amount of RAM etc). I care more about low 
power consumption and the system has to be only just fast enough for my 
needs.

I was just trying to provide some data points for discussion purposes.

Cheers, Jan
