  Zaurus SL-C700 has 100MHz bus, but the later versions, C750 and C760
have 200MHz bus.  IIRC, the 36xx series have 103MHz bus.  (Yes, I
remember that memory bus for PXA 250's are slower than StrongArm's.)

  Yup.  This looks interesting, indeed.  I don't know any other models
that uses PXA 263...

  Good.  Would you mind to include the screen update benchmark?

  Thank you for this update!
