Given fixed hardware and severe performance limits, is this still  
"sane"? Isn't the XO much more like a game console than a PC in the  
sense that optimizing to that specific hardware gets you much more  
than you could ever achieve by trying to be general? For example,  
like in game development, you could have the original artwork be  
resolution-independent but then you pre-render this to the resolution  
that it's actually needed at.
