Anyway, let's talk about Flash&Firefox:

All of us know that Flash is really damn CPU intensive.

Flash for Android has been programmed for mobile devices, a little lighter than the "PC" Flash and that should impact the performance of what it is executing, but anyway, since it anyway is CPU intensive because of the nature of FLASH, that shouldn't matter so much.

When you open a Flash video with Firefox on WebTop, you're loading an ARM Flash Player plugin, that basically is exactly the same plugin that you can find on x86/x64 devices (like your PC) that are running x86/x86_64 Linux with an x86/x86_64 web browser. This is a little heavier, but as said, it shouldn't matter when it comes to smooth playing of flash videos.

Talking of Natty WebTop, I can't say it is a revolution in performance, as it still is Ubuntu, still binary distribution, still compiled for generic ARMv7, but it should be just a little faster than Moto's WebTop. As a result on Ubuntu's Firefox, Flash should be able to run just a little faster...or the same.

Let's talk about GenTop, too.

GenTop is Gentoo, as many of us already know, Gentoo's particular is that normally you won't ever use precompiled binaries (and libs) on that system: there's portage and you'll emerge the source code for the packages you want to install on your system, compile it and install it.

With Gentoo it's all up to you (or who is building it) if a system is stable, fast or a complete mess: for distributing a stable and fast system you should have a perfect knowledge of the platform you're compiling for (especially its CPU), otherwise you'll result in an unstable or slow system.

Now, after all these words we can have a better understanding of what I'm about to say.

When we're running WebTopMOD, we aren't replacing the whole Moto WebTop environment with our one, as it contains proprietary libraries and binaries for making it to start up and work correctly (bootup, sound management, MobileView and some other things). If, for example, I replace completely Natty/Gentoo (at their development stage, as anyway everything is possible, it's just about if it's worth it and if we'll get old developing those things) to WebTop I will result in an unbootable WebTop environment.

We're CHROOTING, so, we aren't unloading the current WebTop libraries from our device's memory, but loading other libraries that will be used for our new chrooted environment. We're also using the Moto's XServer (what shows the windows to you) for running our GNOME Environment and our applications.

Remember a thing: When you run a program, you're running its required libraries and its binary.

So, if GenTop is perfectly compiled, the libraries we're loading for GenTop's Firefox that will load GenTop's Firefox's Flash Player Plugin, will act faster.

Remember we've got our RAM filled with bloat (old libraries) that is half-freezed.

Now, GenTop ALONE will give you a 300% speedup. In a chroot environment it should give you a 100% speedup. (Just only GUESSED numbers only for making you all to understand what's behind the scenes).

I hope you've found the "hidden" reply to your question ;)

@Everyone else

1. dd'ing and compressing the GenTop .img file, it should be ready for you really soon.

2. The script for easy bootup of Natty and GenTop will be uploaded soon, only for testing purposes.
