Nope, it should just work, though I don't remember if I've tried a
GENERIC.MP kernel on it or not (I had tried my TSUNAMI (es40) kernel on
it, but that didn't work so well so I hacked a custom one based on
mappings I discovered running the GENERIC kernel)

There shouldn't be, at least within the hardware limitations of the
board (which are quite high, IIRC)

Very.  At least with my hacked 1.6.x kernels.  It works as well as the
ES40, which is to be expected.

I use mine to build and test binary releases and binary packages, as
well as some testing, and sometimes more transient emacs sessions.
