Ok, your direct experience trumps mine which admittedly about 3 years old. I'll quiz my contacts on their opinion on gcc-4.2 on ARM. Erik
Please let us hear what they have to say about it .. I think there's a lot of generally negative critical opinion about the efficacy of ARM for processing-related tasks, and the facts of the matter are that an ARM-based machine can do some kick-ass things in the audio world .. its not a matter of it needing to be 'the fastest', but 'fast enough', and especially if you consider the price and availability of ARM machinery, there's not much to be said about it: it kicks ass.
Soon as I finish gadget_audio for the GP2X, for example, I'm going to have 3 new portable effects plugins/synthesis engines sitting on my desk for use with my DAW .. for less than half the price of a comparable turnkey system.
