>So the question is: what are the chances of the freerunner becoming useful also in terms of speed some time in the not to distant future? It all depends what you mean by useful and 'future'. There are work-arounds. For example, turn off the touch-tones when dialing, and it will be much faster. It is the most useful distribution thus far for the FreeRunner... at least for me, although I would love to have all flexibility that debian provides.
You are talking about a 400mhz wearable computer performing the tasks that my 600Hz PC could only do! So, find a linux distro that can work well on slower machines, lets say 200Mhz having a nice GUI (lets say a puppy linux), compile it for FreeRunner, put zhone onto it, insert a nice keyboard, make it in such way that users are able to use microSD as a storage for the extra installed programs, and your problem will be solved.
