The vast majority of the performance problems on the Pi stem from its very
poorly supported graphics device. If you watch top on a remote console or
similar you will see Xorg sucking down CPU like crazy whenever the screen
changes--not something you want to see on a single-core system. ;-)

Hi all!
I tested it yesterday!

It works as it should, but the Raspberry Pi has too limited performance
for using it on a regular basis. Even with the ''turbo'' 1000mhz
overclock, the ARM CPU is much slower than my first-gen Asus EEE 2G surf,
with a small 571mhz Celeron CPU. The 2 computers has 512mb of ram.
Still, it is great to see of Linux in general is portable across different
platforms.
Thank you!

I just installed it out of curiosity on my rpi, and it seems to work
quite
nicely - not overly snappy,
oh, and just to mention it: the default behaviour for kmail is
