I tried the same test here (RPCEmu089/402 running on a Win7/64 Dell
XPS [3.4Ghz quad-core i7 CPU] and it averaged 3 secs over 3 or 4
tries, which seems quite acceptable. I suspect the performance on an
Pandaboard ES or Armini would be similar, or better. The Iyo was a
fine machine in its day but it is now obsolescent, even by RISC OS
standards. On the PC side using Firefox the page takes under a second.
Cheers,
