A note regarding dual-booting Nitdroid (*) from Maemo n900 (unfortunately incompatible w/ uboot and therefore meego) suggests why Meego 1.1 performance and battery life seems significantly lower when compared to latest production Maemo on n900.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=887394#post887394 ............................. Some things you'll notice after installing it on the internal memory: 1. Runs 10 times faster, even faster than a class 8 card. 2. The battery doesn't drain fast. Had it off charger all day playing games and surfing the internet and got it to only use 40% of the battery. 3. Pretty good given now you can use it without it draining the battery! ............................. Is there a way a similar "dual boot" technique could be developed to run Meego 1.1 in a fashion closer to it's intended "product" state -- running on the n900's internal memory? Seems like this would solve some of the performance (e.g. slow app launch) and battery-life problems. Note that I'm not complaining, I am absolutely jazzed to be able to run a recent linux kernel on a hand-held device and cross-develop with qt-creator and madde; soon enough, I'm sure Meego's performance on OMAP4-class processors will be better than Maemo's.
