I recently got sent by the kind folks from Marvell a MV78100 developer board[1], and the performance is quite promising. I tested building some known slow-building packages which will likely need security updates in lenny...: Package | Thecus | MV78100 | HPPA | MIPS linux-2.6 | 39h | 11h | 6h | 17h webkit | 17h | 5h | 3h | 4h qt4-x11 | 59h | 17h | 7h | 13h xulrunner | 14h | 4h | 1.5h | 3h thecus/hppa/mips timings are from build logs. Linux-2.6 build times are not really comparable, as different archs build different amounts of kernels. The developer board is ATX-sized mothboard with 2xsata, 2xgigE, 4x pciE and 2x pci, and finally DDR2 Memory slots with 1GB of RAM at the moment. Next, I'll try various packages with known anal testsuites (gcc-4.3, perl, python, glibc, apr, mysql, ltp, any other suggestions ) to see that the board is surely stable.
