What is the application? I think that an Arduino would be adequate to control spark-only on a carburated engine. Conversely a three-core 1MHz PowerPC chip is running at about 80% CPU load on a modern common-rail diesel engine. (which will typically have about 3000 look-up tables, 40,000 other variables and a manual 4000 pages thick) In case you have missed it, I program engine control computers for a living. MegaSquirt seems pretty Open.
