Well, you are very much correct on the
watts/performance issue, I
look at
it this way. Your average PII/PIII is about as powerful as some
of the
ultra-efficient Arm-based SBC devices now available for Linux
users. If
TDE can run well on PII/PIII hardware, then it will likely run
well on
those very efficient Arm-based systems as well.
I don't run the PI and PII all day. I use them because they provide
a nice way for corner case testing. For example, a while back I
noted problems with the logout status dialog because only the PI or
PII would show them.
