Alan,
I wonder if the Flash file base for the images, etc., might be a big problem here also?
It could be but I'd imagine it is not significant. I'll measure the raw data throughput on the board later. They say the read through put on the A-board is something like 2.5MB/sec. Assuming this ideal bandwidth achieved, the JMV file is about 1.5MB, so half a second is spent on reading over 20 seconds or so play time.
With their CaFe chip on later revision of boards, the bandwidth is supposed to be 10 times faster.
It's striking how fast this runs on my (not so fast) Panasonic laptop.
Yeah, it is about one order of magnitude range with my Panasonic laptop.
