I'm not too familiar with this, but I thought I heard that the
400MHz XScale isn't _actually_ much faster than a 206MHz StrongArm.
It's just more efficient.  Or something.  I could be blowing smoke. Sorry ;)

As for memory, you can always get an SD card, and put your filesystem
there, thus giving yourself 64MB of RAM for running programs.
(I think OpenZaurus will let you do this; the stock Sharp ROMs don't,
unfortunately.)
