I remember the first time I played with one. That thing was unbelievably fast.
Reminded me a bit my first contact with a fully tricked out deskside Sun E450. It was so fast I thought I was doing something wrong.

The weird thing is even a smartphone running basically stock apps and nothing else will still exhibit the same effect. Blistering fast out of the box, frustratingly slow by the time it's replaced. I wonder sometimes if the CPU isn't clocking itself down based on some cycle count, or maybe the flash is literally wearing down and losing IOPS.
