Have you tried the nightly builds? My Keon ran significantly faster with them. Unfortunately, a few things were still a bit broken, so I reverted to the normal builds for day-to-day use. Still, there seems to be plenty of room for software-based improvements on modest hardware.
Yes, I have tried the nightly at some point, indeed I saw some improvements, but also broken stuff:
- scrolling in firefox produced really weird "oscillations" that never really went away unless quitting the application.
- youtube stopped working (not that i can use it reasonably otherwise)
etc.
I guess I should try it again one of these days.
Yeah, nightly builds are not suitable for daily use, but they do show that the same hardware and stack can deliver much better performance in the very near future.
