They are significantly faster. My Aspen Alpine (~= EB64) makes world
on FreeBSD approx 4 to 5x faster than my NoName. Not much of a benchmark,
but it gives an indication.

Sjee. Where are have all the hardware hackers gone ... ? ;-) My Aspen
suffered from the same problem. You can build a 5V -> 3.3V power supply
for approx 15 US$. Get yourself a Linear Technology LT1083 low drop 
voltage regulator, a few caps and a good heatsink. Grab the AppNote from
LTs website and off you go. Works like a charm.
